Configuring Flood Protection Parent topic

With user-defined thresholds, Deep Edge limits the number of packets per second that can flood a server. The packets are forwarded through Deep Edge and divided into Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Synchronous Transmission (SYN), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) flood protection categories.

Procedure

  1. Go to Policies → Anti-DoS → Flood Protection.
  2. Check the appropriate boxes and specify flood limitations on the packets per second fields for TCP SYN, UDP, or ICMP flood protection.
    • Limit traffic by source or destination addresses for the various flood types
    • Specify the threshold limitations
  3. Click OK.
