3.4.7.2 Working with administrator-defined interface-based
exception filters
You can add specific filtering rules at the interface level in addition to the built-in
rules. Such rules give you the capability of restricting access to a port, for specific
reasons, such as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.
The filtering rules are set up in the same manner as filtering rules defined for a
Policy — specify an IP address, select a protocol if applicable, and then either
allow or deny traffic to that address. For more information, see Section 6.10.2,
“About filtering rules”, on page 352.
The rules defined for port exception filters are prepended to the normal set of
restrictive exception filters and have precedence over the system's normal
protection enforcement (that is, they are evaluated first).
Warning: If defined improperly, user exception rules may seriously compromise
the system’s normal security enforcement rules. They may also disrupt the
system's normal operation and even prevent system functionality altogether. It is
advised to only augment the exception-filtering mechanism if absolutely
necessary.
