McAfee® Network Security Platform 5.1 The IPS Sensor_Name node Note: DoS policy cannot be customized to the VLAN/CIDR IDs within an interface if you have already created sub-interfaces. For more information, on how to customize DoS policy for a sub-interface, see Customizing DoS policy for a sub-interface (on page 239). For DoS policy application examples, see Setting policy for interfaces and sub-interfaces (on page 213). Tip: For more information on DoS modes, see Denial of Service (DoS) modes (on page 222). For more information on rules on creating DoS profiles, see Denial of Service (DoS) customization (on page 224). Figure 224: Manage Custom DoS To customize DoS detection instances within an interface, do the following: 1 Select Interface-x > Scanning > Custom DoS Policy . Initially, the table lists only the interface. The (Inherited DoS) highlight indicates that the interface is currently protected by the DoS settings of your applied IPS policy. 2 Click Edit. 3 Open a policy and make changes. 4 Click Commit Changes. 5 Click Version Control to track or review changes made to the policy. Note that Version Control is disabled till you commit the changes. Figure 225: Customize DoS Policy 230
