Enabling BDoS Protection
Before you configure BDoS Protection profiles, enable BDoS Protection. You can also change the
default global device settings for BDoS Protection. The BDoS Protection global settings apply to all
the network protection-policy rules with BDoS profiles on the device.
To enable BDoS Protection and configure global settings
1. In the Configuration perspective Security Settings tab navigation pane, select BDoS
Protection.
2. Configure the parameters; and then, click
(Submit) to submit the changes.

Parameter
Description
Basic Parameters
Enable BDoS Protection
Specifies whether BDoS Protection is enabled.
Note:
Changing the setting of this parameter requires a reboot to
take effect.
Learning Response Period
The initial period from which baselines are primarily weighted.
The default and recommended learning response period is one week.
If traffic rates legitimately fluctuate (for example, TCP or UDP traffic
baselines change more than 50% daily), set the learning response to
one month. Use a one day period for testing purposes only.
Values: Day, Week, Month
Default: Week
Enable Traffic Statistics
Sampling
Specifies whether the BDoS module uses traffic-statistics sampling
during the creation phase of the BDoS footprint. When the BDoS
module is trying to generate a real-time signature and there is a high
rate of traffic, the device evaluates only a portion of the traffic. The
BDoS module tunes the sampling factor automatically, according to
the traffic rate. The BDoS module screens all traffic at low traffic
rates (below 100K PPS) and only a portion of the traffic at higher
rates (above 100K PPS).
Default: Enabled
Note:
For best performance, Radware recommends that the
parameter be Enabled.
