Attack Definitions tab

The Attack Definitions tab lists the inbound and outbound attack definitions included in the IPS Policy. An IPS Policy typically contains thousands of attack definitions. So, the Attack Definitions tab has some useful filtering options to locate attack definitions.

To set the display of attack definitions click on the column header and then select or type in the Filters options. There are two options to filter the displayed attack definitions: List based filter and String based filter.

List based filter is available for those columns where the display of attack definitions is based on selecting a specific criteria listed in the column.

String based filter is available for those columns where the display of attack definitions is based on the criteria typed in the text field of the Filters option. By typing the first few characters in the text field, the policy assignments matching the typed characters are displayed on the page.

Note

When the attack definitions are displayed by using the Filters option, the header of column by which the policy assignments are filtered is highlighted in orange color. By clicking the Clear All Filters button, the filter is removed and all the attack definitions are displayed on the page.
