D-Link NetDefendOS

More information about IDP can be found in Section 6.6,
“Intrusion Detection and Prevention”.
Note
Full IDP is available on all D-Link NetDefend
product models as a subscription service. On
some models, a simplified IDP subsystem is
provided as standard.
Web Content Filtering NetDefendOS provides various mechanisms for filtering
web content that is deemed inappropriate according to a
web usage policy. With Web Content Filtering (WCF) web
content can be blocked based on category (Dynamic WCF),
malicious objects can be removed from web pages and
web sites can be whitelisted or blacklisted.
More information about this topic can be found in
Section 6.3, “Web Content Filtering”.
Traffic Management NetDefendOS provides broad traffic management
capabilities through Traffic Shaping, Threshold Rules (certain
models only) and Server Load Balancing.
Traffic Shaping enables limiting and balancing of
bandwidth; Threshold Rules allow specification of
thresholds for sending alarms and/or limiting network
traffic; Server Load Balancing enables a device running
NetDefendOS to distribute network load to multiple hosts.
These features are discussed in detail in Chapter 10, Traffic
Management.
Note
Threshold Rules are only available on certain
D-Link NetDefend product models.
Operations and Maintenance Administrator management of NetDefendOS is possible
through either a Web-based User Interface (the WebUI) or
via a Command Line Interface (the CLI). NetDefendOS also
provides detailed event and logging capabilities plus
support for monitoring through SNMP.
More detailed information about this topic can be found in
Chapter 2, Management and Maintenance.
ZoneDefense NetDefendOS can be used to control external switches
using the ZoneDefense feature. This allows NetDefendOS to
isolate portions of a network that contain hosts that are the
source of undesirable network traffic. This is discussed
further in Chapter 12, ZoneDefense.
Note
NetDefendOS ZoneDefense is not available on
the D-Link DFL-260E.
