Configuring Management Access Rules
Access Rules specifically permit or deny traffic to or from a particular peer (or peers), while
Management Access Rules provide access control for to-the-box traffic. For example, in addition to
detecting IKE Denial of Service attacks, you can block them using management access rules.
To add a Management Access Rule, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Choose Configuration > Device Management > Management Access > Management Access Rules.
Step 2 Click Add, and choose one of the following actions:
• Add Management Access Rule
• Add IPv6 Management Access Rule
The appropriate Add Management Access Rule dialog box appears.
Step 3 From the Interface drop-down list, choose an interface on which to apply the rule.
Step 4 In the Action field, click one of the following:
• Permit (permits this traffic)
• Deny (denies this traffic)
Step 5 In the Source field, choose Any, or click the ellipsis (...) to browse for an address.
Step 6 In the Service field, add a service name for rule traffic, or click the ellipsis (...) to browse for a service.
