This function compares packets passing through
the router with the database of intrusion/attack
patters in the router, and records/discards a packet if
unauthorized access is suspected.
Note
• Note that new unauthorized access methods and
intrusion/attack patterns are constantly being discovered
and thus no completely infallible prevention method
exists. We would like you to understand that not all of
unauthorized accesses can be detected by this function.
• As this function detects accesses that are similar to
intrusions/attack patterns, some unauthorized accesses
may not be detected due to timing or a range of other
reasons. On the other hand, a detected pattern does
not automatically mean that a serious unauthorized
access has occurred. Please understand this and use this
function only as a guide for your security management.
• This function can apply to each interface and I/O.
• Using this function decreases the speed of accessing the
Internet, etc.
