The HPE OfficeConnect 1850 series switch software includes a robust set of built-in denial-of-service
(DoS) and storm-control protections, and allows configuring secure HTTP (HTTPS) management ses-
sions.
Advanced Security Configuration
The HPE OfficeConnect 1850 series switch software provides an Auto Denial-of-Service (DoS) protec-
tion feature to help protect against DoS attacks. A DoS attack is an attempt to saturate the switch with
external communication requests to prevent the switch from performing efficiently, or at all. You can
enable Auto DoS protection that prevents common types of DoS attacks.

CAUTION:
The DoS feature does not generate notifications (such as error messages, syslog mes-
sages, or SNMP traps) if a DoS attack occurs. The switch will simply drop DoS-related
packets.
