waf ip-list
Use this command to define which source IP addresses are trusted clients, undetermined, or distrusted.
- Trusted IPs—Almost always allowed to access to your protected web servers. Trusted IPs are exempt from many (but not all) of the restrictions that would otherwise be applied by a server policy. To determine skipped scans, see debug flow trace.
- Neither—If a source IP address is neither explicitly blacklisted or trusted by an IP list policy, the client can access your web servers, unless it is blocked by any of your other configured, subsequent web protection scan techniques. For details, see debug flow trace.
- Blacklisted IPs—Blocked and prevented from accessing your protected web servers. Requests from blacklisted IP addresses receive a warning message in response. The warning message page includes ID: 70007, which is the ID of all attack log messages about requests from blacklisted IPs.
Because FortiWeb evaluates trusted and blacklisted IP policies before many other techniques, defining these IP addresses can improve performance. |
Alternatively, you can block sets of many clients based upon their reputation (see waf ip-intelligence) or geographical origin (see waf geo-block-list).
To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w
or rw
permission to the wafgrp
area. For details, see Permissions.

Select either:
Note: If multiple clients share the same source IP address, such as when a group of clients is behind a firewall or router performing network address translation (NAT), blacklisting the source IP address could block innocent clients that share the same source IP address with an offending client. |

When rule violations are recorded in the attack log, each log message contains a Severity Level (

Select which trigger, if any, that the FortiWeb appliance will use when it logs and/or sends an alert email about a blacklisted IP address’s attempt to connect to your web servers. The maximum length is 63 characters. For details, see log trigger-policy. To display the list of existing trigger policies, enter:

Example
The following shows the configuration for a trusted host of 192.0.2.0
followed by a blacklisted client of 192.0.2.1
.
config waf ip-list
edit "IP-List-Policy1"
config members
edit 1
set ip "192.0.2.0"
next
edit 2
set type black-ip
set ip "192.0.2.1"
set severity Medium
set trigger-policy "TriggerActionPolicy1"
next
end
