Defining a New Zone

The Detector enables the user to define a new zone based on a variety of

templates.

To define a new zone perform the following:

1. From the Configuration command group level type the following:

admin@DETECTOR-conf# zone <new-zone-name> [<template>|copy-from

<base-zone-name>][interactive]

Where:

–

new-zone-name—A zone name string. An alphanumeric string should

start with a letter, hold no spaces, and should be limited to a length of up

to 63 characters. The string may contain underscores.

–

template—(Optional) A template that defines the zone configuration.

Options are:

Default —The Guard default zone template

Bandwidth-limited Link Templates—Templates designed and

specifically tailored for detection of large subnets segmented according

to zones with known bandwidth. Detection on zones defined by these

templates can be assumed without undergoing the learning process. It is

recommended to define such a zone with protect-ip-state of only-dest-ip

(see the “Guard-Protection Activation Forms” section for further details).

The following bandwidth-limited link templates are available for 128K,

1M, 4M, and 512K links respectively: LINK_128K, LINK_1M,

LINK_4M, and LINK_512K.

Note Learning Phase 1, policy construction, cannot be performed for

these templates.

Note If no zone template is specified, the zone will be defined using

the Detector DEFAULT zone template.

–

base-zone-name—(Optional) The name of a desired zone used as a

template for the new zone.

–

interactive—(Optional) The operation mode of the new zone is set to

interactive (see the “Interactive Recommendations Mode” section for

further details).

Note Choosing Enter without specifying the zone template defines a zone

by the Detector default zone template.

2. Choose ENTER. Below is an example of the zone command implementation:

admin@DETECTOR-conf# zone scannet

admin@DETECTOR-conf-zone-scannet#

Duplicating a Zone

The user may duplicate a desired zone and define a new, identically- configured,

zone.

To duplicate a zone from the Configuration command group level perform the

following:

1. From the Configuration command group level type the following:

admin@DETECTOR-conf# zone <new-zone-name> copy-from

<base-zone-name>

Where:

–

new-zone-name—A zone name string. An alphanumeric string should

start with a letter, hold no spaces, and should be limited to a length of up

to 63 characters. The string may contain underscores.

–

base-zone-name—The name of a desired zone used as a template for the

new zone.

Zone Remote Guard List

The Detector has a list containing a Guard (or Guards) to remotely activate when

a traffic abnormality is detected. The zone remote Guard list is part of the zone

configuration. When the Detector detects a traffic abnormality it first consults the

zone remote Guard list for alerting (provided the Detector is configured for

remote-activation).

If the Detector does not find a Guard on the list it refers to the remote Guard (or

Guards) on the Detector default list (see the “Default Remote Guard List” section

in Chapter 3, “Detector Configuration” for further details).
