Header/Footer IPS

You can create new IPS headers and footers for use in Intrusion Prevention object configuration. When a IPS header/footer is created and assigned to an ADOM, all new and existing Intrusion Prevention objects in that ADOM will include the header and footer.

The Header/Footer IPS table includes the following features in the toolbar:

Create New	Create a new IPS header/footer.
Edit	Edit an existing IPS header/footer.
Delete	Delete an existing IPS header/footer.
ADOM Assignments	Specify to which ADOM(s) an IPS header/footer can be assigned.
Assign/Un-assign	Assign the IPS header/footer to one or more ADOMs. ADOMs will not appear in the Assign/Un-assign list unless they have first been specified using ADOM Assignment. When the IPS header/footer is assigned to an ADOM, all new and existing Intrusion Prevention objects within this ADOM are updated to include the IPS headers and footers.
Column Settings	Configure which columns are displayed in the Header/Footer IPS table.
