Configure advanced properties for IPS interfaces
Advanced settings allow you to configure SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression on the IPS engine’s interfaces.
SYN Rate Limits are applied to TCP connections. Each TCP connection starts with a SYN packet. If the SYN Rate Limits defined for the IPS engine are reached, the IPS engine drops new TCP connections.
Log Compression is useful when the number of Discard logs becomes high (for example, as a result of a SYN flood attack).
Note: The SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression settings in the interface properties override the general SYN Rate Limits and Log Compression settings. These settings are defined in the Engine Editor.
