Creating a Reference Table to Configure Protection Metrics in Batches

This topic describes how to create a reference table to batch configure protection metrics of a single type, such as Path, User Agent, IP, Params, Cookie, Referer, and Header. A reference table can be referenced by CC attack protection rules, anti-crawler protection rules, and precise protection rules.

When you configure a CC attack protection rule, anti-crawler rule, or precise protection rule, if the Logic field in the Trigger list is set to Include any value, Exclude any value, Equal to any value, Not equal to any value, Prefix is any value, Prefix is not any value, Suffix is any value, or Suffix is not any value, you can select an appropriate reference table from the Content drop-down list.

If you have enabled enterprise projects, ensure that you have all operation permissions for the project where your WAF instance locates. Then, you can select the project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list and configure protection policies for the domain names in the project.
