Create/Edit Rule Window
The features and fields in the Create Rule and Edit Rule windows are identical, except for their title. These
windows are used to define new rules or modify existing rules to be used as Automated Security Manager
responses to network security threats. The Edit Rule window opens with information for the rule selected in
the Rule Definitions view, while the Create Rule window opens with blank or default settings.
Rules have two distinct functions:
Examine the source of the threat (switch/port) to determine if certain conditions exist (e.g. threat
category, source of the notifying IDS, policies currently applied to the port, etc.).
•
Define the action to be taken when these conditions match the criteria defined by the Rule.•
