Help Center/ Cloud Firewall/ User Guide/ Attack Defense/ IPS Rule Management/ Modifying the Protection Action of an Intrusion Prevention Rule

Modifying the Protection Action of an Intrusion Prevention Rule

Updated on 2024-12-31 GMT+08:00

For rules in the basic defense rule library and the virtual patch rule library, you can manually modify their protection actions. After the modification, their actions do not change with the IPS protection mode.

If the rules in the rule library cannot meet your requirements, you can customize IPS signature rules. For details, see Customizing IPS Signatures.

Constraints

The restrictions on modifying an IPS rule are as follows:
  • The action of a manually modified rule remains unchanged even if Protection Mode is changed.
  • The constraints on manually modified actions are as follows:
    • The actions of up to 3000 rules can be manually changed to observation.
    • The actions of up to 3000 rules can be manually changed to interception.
    • The actions of up to 128 rules can be manually changed to disabling.

  6. Click View Effective Rules under Basic Protection. The Basic Protection tab is displayed.
  7. (Optional) To view the parameter details of a type of rules, set filter criteria in the input box above the list.
  8. Click an action in the Operation column.

    • Observe: The firewall logs the traffic that matches the current rule and does not block the traffic.
    • Intercept: The firewall logs and blocks the traffic that matches the current rule.
    • Disable: The firewall does not log or block the traffic that matches the current rule.
