Creating Custom Intrusion Policies
Note: This topic applies to the Kenilworth Release.
By default, the Smoothwall contains a number of policies which you can deploy to detect and prevent intrusions. It is also possible to create custom policies to suit your individual network.
To create a custom policy
| 1. | Go to the Services > Intrusion system > Policies page. |
Tip: If the list of signatures takes some time to load, try upgrading to the latest version of your browser to speed up the process.
| 2. | From the Policy panel, configure the following: |
| • | Name — Configure a meaningful name for the custom policy. |
| • | Comment — Configure an optional comment for this policy. |
| • | Signatures — From the list, select the signatures you want to include in the policy. For information about how to add custom signatures, see Uploading Custom Intrusion Signatures. |
| 3. | Click Add. The Smoothwall creates the policy and lists it in the Current policies area. |
The policy is now available when deploying Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention policies. For more information, see Deploying Intrusion Detection Policies and Deploying Intrusion Prevention Policies.
