Configuring the Default Attack Detector

•
How to Define the Default Action and Optionally the Default Thresholds, page 10-11
•
How to Reinstate the System Defaults for a Selected Set of Attack Types, page 10-12
•
How to Reinstate the System Defaults for All Attack Types, page 10-12
Use these commands to configure the values for the default attack detector for the following parameters:
•
Attack handling action
•
Thresholds
•
Subscriber notification
•
Sending an SNMP trap
If a specific attack detector is defined for a particular attack type, it will override the configured default
attack detector.
Options
The following options are available:
•
attack-detector
— The attack detector being configured; in this case, the default attack detector.
•
protocol
— Defines the protocol to which the default attack detector applies.
•
attack-direction
— Defines whether the default attack detector applies to single sided or dual sided
attacks.
•
destination port
{TCP and UDP protocols only) — Defines whether the default attack detector
applies to port-based or port-less detections.
•
side
— Defines whether the default attack detector applies to attacks originating at the subscriber
or network side.
•
action
— Default action:
–
report
(default) — Report beginning and end of the attack by writing to the attack-log.
–
block
— Block all further flows that are part of this attack, the SCE platform drops the packets.
