Profiles > IDS > Denial of Service
This profile type defines traffic anomaly settings that detect and process denial-of-service attacks. This
profile type defines the parameters that are monitored and acted upon when detecting and blacklisting an
offending client from the Aruba system. When a client is blacklisted in the Aruba system, the client is not
allowed to associate with any AP in the network for a specified amount of time. If a client is connected to
the network when it is blacklisted, a de-authentication message is sent to force the client to disconnect.
While blacklisted, the client cannot associate with another SSID in the network.
Table 32 summarizes the predefined IDS Denial of Service profiles. These profiles are viewable with the
Profiles > IDS > Denial of Service path in the navigation pane.
