15.4 Attack Alert

The first defense against DOS attacks. In this screen you may choose to generate an alert whenever an attack is detected. For DoS attacks, the ZyWALL uses thresholds to determine when to drop sessions that do not become fully established. These thresholds apply globally to all sessions.

You can use the default threshold values, or you can change them to values more suitable to your security requirements.

15.4.1 Threshold Values:

Tune these parameters when something is not working and after you have checked the firewall counters. These default values should work fine for normal small offices with ADSL bandwidth. Factors influencing choices for threshold values are:

1.The maximum number of opened sessions.

2.The minimum capacity of server backlog in your LAN network.

3.The CPU power of servers in your LAN network.

4.Network bandwidth.
