The following commands in

Table 3-5

set up the policies that are used with this scenario. For more

information about CLI commands, see the

CLI Command Reference Guide provided with your

appliance.

Table 3-5: Commands to Set Up Policies

Log Message Counters

A log message is generated the first time a set threshold is passed. This log message is generated

with the following parameters:

Module: Policy
Level: Notification

This log message will be sent to all logging destinations set for the above parameters. Example

commands for sending log messages to syslog and internal storage are included as part of the

Setting Up the Logging Infrastructure

on page 3-4.

The appliance also keeps a counter on how many times a set threshold is

passed. This counter is called an alert-record and can be viewed by using the command "get alert-

record all".
Two possible actions can be specified as part of an alert. If the action is set as "log once" then an

alert-record counter is incremented the first time the set threshold is passed. If the action is set

as "log always", then the alert-record counter reflects the total number of times the alert-record

is passed.
The alert-record counters can be reset by the command "clear alert-record all".

Analyzing and Shaping Traffic

This section explains the internal processes that are used to analyze traffic, send alerts, and deny

its passage.

Connection-rate monitoring involves the following process:

• The packet arrives at the interface of the appliance.

• Validate whether a flow can be identified with the incoming packet. Proceed to the next

step based on the following flow lookup:

If the flow exists, the connection rate limit processing is not needed on the packet.

Command

Description

set policy id 1 from "untrust" to "trust"

"any" "webserver" "web-traffic" permit

alert “cr-shape-alert1” "ab-shape-alert1"

Creates a policy (id 1) that allows all web

traffic to pass and applies alerts when

connection rate reaches 2000 per second,

and when traffic reaches 100 mps.

[NOTE]

The connection rate alert must be

specified before the aggregate bandwidth
alert.

set policy id 2 from "untrust" to "trust"

"any" "webserver" "any" permit alert " ab-

shape-alert2"

Creates a policy (id 2) that allows all web

traffic to pass and applies the aggregate

bandwidth alert when any one user’s

bandwidth reaches 10 Mbps.

set policy default-permit-all

Allows all other traffic to go through.

set route 0.0.0.0/0 interface br0 gateway

192.168.65.240

Sets a default route for management

traffic. This setting should include your

gateway address.
