Additional Configuration
The procedures detailed in this section are optional and not required in all
situations.
Attack Alerts
Attack alerts are the first defense against DOS attacks. In the Attack Alert
screen you may choose to generate an alert whenever an attack is detected.
For DoS attacks, the BCM50 Integrated Router uses thresholds to determine
when to drop sessions that do not become fully established. These thresholds
apply globally to all sessions.
You can use the default threshold values, or you can change them to values
more suitable to your security requirements.
Configuring Attack Alerts
1. Access the Web Router GUI (refer to the Accessing the Web Router
GUI section of this guide).
2. From the Main Menu, click on Firewall.
3. In the Attack Alert tab, enable the Alerts function by ticking the
Generate alert when attack detected check box.
4. Configure the rest of the detail settings and click Apply to save your
settings.
