Prevention Service to begin protecting your network, you need to perform the following steps:
1. Enable SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service
2. Specify the Priority attack Groups
3. Apply SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service Protection to Zones
Note: For complete instructions on setting up SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service, refer to the
SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service Administrator’s Guide
available on the SonicWALL
documentation Web site <http://www.sonicwall.com/us/3396.html>.
Selecting Threat Protection > Intrusion Prevention displays the configuration settings for
SonicWALL IPS on your SonicWALL security appliance.
The Intrusion Prevention Service page is divided into three sections:
• IPS Status - displays status information on the state of the signature database, your
SonicWALL IPS license, and other information.
• IPS Global Settings - provides the key settings for enabling SonicWALL IPS on your
SonicWALL security appliance, specifying global SonicWALL IPS protection based on three
classes of attacks, and other configuration options.
• IPS Policies - allows you to view SonicWALL IPS signatures and configure the handling of
signatures by category groups or on a signature by signature basis. Categories are
signatures grouped together based on the type of attack.
After activating your Intrusion Prevention Service license, you must enable and configure
SonicWALL IPS on the SonicWALL management interface to before intrusion prevention policies
are applied to your network traffic.
Enabling SonicWALL IPS
SonicWALL IPS must be globally enabled on your SonicWALL security appliance by checking the
Enable IPS check box in the IPS Global Settings section. A checkmark in the Enable IPS check
box turns on the service on your SonicWALL security appliance.
