IDS rules
In some situations the Intrusion Detection Service (IDS) may detect communication between routers or other internal networking devices as a potential attack. For example, you can add the known safe address to the Addresses excluded from IDS zone to bypass the IDS.
The following ESET Knowledgebase articles may only be available in English: |
Managing IDS rules
- Add—Click to create a new IDS rule.
- Edit—Click to edit an existing IDS rule.
- Delete—Select and click if you want to remove an existing rule from the list of IDS rules.
- Top/Up/Down/Bottom—Adjust the priority level of rules (exceptions are evaluated from top to bottom).
Tab Exclusions will be displayed if an administrator creates IDS exclusions in ESET PROTECT On-Prem Web Console. IDS exclusions can contain allowing rules only and are evaluated before IDS rules.
