This option specifies the rise threshold value as a rate of kilobits per second at which traffic is received on the port. This value must be between 1and2147483647 Kbps. Enter the low KBPS value used here. This option specifies the low threshold value as a rate of kilobits per second at which traffic is received on the port. This value must be between 1and2147483647 Kbps. If the low KBPS is not specified, the default value is 80% of the specified risen KBPS. Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.

DoS Attack Prevention Settings This window is used to display and configure the Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention settings. The following well-known DoS types which can be detected by most Switches: • Land Attack: This type of attack involves IP packets where the source and destination address are set to the address of the target device. It may cause the target device to reply to itself continuously. • Blat Attack: This type of attack will send packets with the TCP/UDP source port equal to the destination port of the target device. It may cause the target device to respond to itself. • TCP-Null: This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain a sequence number of 0 and no flags. • TCP-Xmas: This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain a sequence number of 0 and the Urgent (URG), Push (PSH), and FIN flags. • TCPSYN-FIN: This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain SYN and FIN flags. • TCP SYN SrcPort Less 1024: This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain source port 0 to 1023 and SYN flag. • Ping of Death Attack: A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or otherwise a malicious ping to a computer. A ping is normally 64 bytes in size (many computers cannot handle a 367

are described below:
Parameter
Description
KBPS Rise
Enter the rise KBPS value used here. This option specifies the rise threshold
value as a rate of kilobits per second at which traffic is received on the port. This
value must be between 1and2147483647 Kbps.
KBPS Low
Enter the low KBPS value used here. This option specifies the low threshold value
as a rate of kilobits per second at which traffic is received on the port. This value
must be between 1and2147483647 Kbps. If the low KBPS is not specified, the
default value is 80% of the specified risen KBPS.

DoS Attack Prevention Settings
This window is used to display and configure the Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack prevention settings. The following
well-known DoS types which can be detected by most Switches:
Land Attack:
This type of attack involves IP packets where the source and destination address are set to the
address of the target device. It may cause the target device to reply to itself continuously.
Blat Attack
: This type of attack will send packets with the TCP/UDP source port equal to the destination port of
the target device. It may cause the target device to respond to itself.
TCP-Null:
This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain a sequence
number of 0 and no flags.
TCP-Xmas:
This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain a sequence
number of 0 and the Urgent (URG), Push (PSH), and FIN flags.
TCPSYN-FIN:
This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which contain SYN and FIN
flags.
TCP SYN SrcPort Less 1024:
This type of attack involves port scanning by using specific packets which
contain source port 0 to 1023 and SYN flag.
Ping of Death Attack:
A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or
otherwise a malicious ping to a computer. A ping is normally 64 bytes in size (many computers cannot handle a
