Intrusion prevention templates

IPS administrators can use IPS templates to modify and assign IPS objects to devices. Once a template has been created, it can be assigned to a device or device group in the ADOM.

IPS templates can be created, edited, deleted and cloned.

To create an IPS template:

1. Log in as an Administrator, and go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > IPS Templates.
   Alternatively, if you are using a IPS restricted administrator profile, go to Intrusion Prevention > IPS Templates.
2. Click Create New to create a new IPS template.
   The Create IPS Template wizard opens.
3. Enter a name and optional description for the template, and click OK.
   The template is created and you can now edit the IPS template details.
4. Enable and configure one or more of the following IPS objects: IPS Global (global settings), System IPS (VDOM-based), and IPS Settings (VDOM-based).
   

   When copying the IPS template to a device VDOM, if the target is "root" or "mgmt", only the IPS Global are coppied.

   

5. Click OK to save the template.

To assign a template to a device or group:

1. Log in as an Administrator, and go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > IPS Templates.
   Alternatively, if you are using a IPS restricted administrator profile, go to Intrusion Prevention > IPS Templates.
2. Select a IPS template from the table, and click Assign to Device/Group in the toolbar.
3. In the Available Entries pane, double-click a device to add it to the Selected Entries pane, and click OK.
