Chapter14 Co nfiguring Attack Response Controller for Blocking and Rate Limiting
Supported Devices
Before you configure the ARC for blocking or rate limiting, make sure you do the following:
• Analyze your network topology to understand which devices should be blocked by which sensor,
and which addresses should never be blocked.
• Gather the usernames, device passwords, enable passwords, and connections types (Telnet or SSH)
needed to log in to each device.
• Know the interface names on the devices.
• Know the names of the Pre-Block ACL or VACL and the Post-Block ACL or VACL if needed.
• Understand which interfaces should and should not be blocked and in w hich direction (in or out).
You do not want to accidentally shut down an entire network.
For More Information
For the procedure for configuring the master blocking sensor, see Configuring the Sensor to be a Master
