Filters have the following components, which determine the filter type, global and customized settings, and how the system responds when the TSE finds traffic matching the filter:
  • Category — Defines the type of network protection that the filter provides. This category also enables you to locate the filter and control the global filter settings using the Category Setting configuration.
  • Action set — Defines what occurs when the system detects traffic that matches the filter.
  • Adaptive Filter Configuration State — Enables you to override the global Adaptive Filter configuration settings so that adaptive filtering does not affect the filter.
  • State — Indicates if the filter is enabled or disabled.
