Protection profile settings

Protection profile settings

This section of the Service Protection Policy (SPP) allows the user to associate different mitigation features to SPP. Every SPP can link to Rrofiles for mitigation features for IP, ICMP, TCP, HTTP, SSL/TLS, NTP, DNS, DTLS and QUIC.

SPP Profiles for the above features are created via Service Protection > IP Profile | ICMP Profile | TCP Profile | HTTP Profile | SSL/TLS Profile | NTP Profile | DNS Profile | DTLS Profile | QUIC Profile.

Note:

  • Each SPP can only be associated with one profile of each type at a time.

  • All SPPs should have all above Profile associated with it. Failure to do so can severely limit DDoS mitigation.

  • Profile names can be up to 35 characters long but only 26 are shown in the SPP Profiles list. Names longer than 26 characters are shown with elipses, like: 12345678901234567890123456…

    Look in Service Protection > Profiles for the full name.
