Creating exception rules

When creating an exception rule, you need to define the exception and indicate the signature to which the exception applies. You can create an entirely new exception, one based on a duplicate of an existing exception, or one based on an event.

To create an exception:

1Do one of the following:

„On the Exception Rules tab, click Create on the shortcut menu or toolbar. A blank New Exception dialog box appears.

„On the Exception Rules tab, select an existing exception and click Duplicate on the shortcut menu or toolbar. A prefilled Duplicate Exception dialog box appears.

„On the IPS Events tab, select the event for which you want to create an exception and click Create Exception on the shortcut menu or the toolbar. Select the policy in which to create the exception, and click OK. A prefilled New Exception dialog box appears.
