5.2 Adding a host or network to the blacklist
Adding a host or a network to the blacklist effectively prevents any access from
the host or network to your firewall and internal network. Adding a host or
network to the whitelist instead prevents that host or network from ever being
denied access by the IPS (though of coarse other access restrictions my still
apply).
To add a host or network to the blacklist or whitelist:
➔ Open the “Manage the Intrusion Prevention System” screen as described in
paragraph 5.1 Manage the Intrusion Prevention System.
➔ In the “Manage the Intrusion Prevention System” screen, click the “ Add
New” button in the lower left corner of the screen.
The screen will change to the “Add new address to Intrusion Prevention
System” view.
➔ Choose the “Type” of entry to add (“Whitelisted” if you want to add a host or
network to the whitelist, “Blacklisted” if you want to add a host or network to
the blacklist).
➔ Enter the “Address”. For a single host, this is the host's IP address (in dotted
quad format). For a network, this is the network address (in dotted quad
format) followed by a slash character (/) and the number of bits in the
netmask (between 0 and 32).
➔ Click the “Next” button to continue.
The screen will change to the “Manage the Intrusion Prevention System” view.
