Rate Limit Action Set
A Rate Limit action set defines a maximum bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches filters
assigned to that action set. Incoming traffic in excess of this bandwidth is dropped. If two or more
filters use the same rate limiting action set, then all packets matching these filters share the bandwidth.
For example, if filters 164 (ICMP Echo Request) and 161 (ICMP Redirect Undefined Code) use the
same 10 Mbps action set, then both “Echo Requests” and “Redirect Undefined Codes” filters share the
10 Mbps “pipe” as opposed to each filter getting a dedicated 10Mbps pipe.
The supported rates are subject to restrictions based on the device model. Any of these listed rates can
be used as long as it does not exceed 25% percent of the total bandwidth of the product.
The following table lists supported rates.
Quarantine Action Set
Quarantine Action Sets are Block action sets configured to block or redirect traffic from the host IP
address for the filtered traffic. By enabling quarantine with a Block action set, you reduce the exposure
of your network to internal and external threats.
When a filter with a quarantine option triggers, the device installs two blocks: one for the flow (as is
normally done with Block actions) and another for the quarantined IP address. In addition to
installing the two blocks, the device quarantines the IP address based on the instructions in the action
set. For example, the user can display a Quarantine web page to notify the user of the problem and
optionally provide instructions for fixing it, or the action may redirect all traffic from the quarantined
IP address to a quarantine server that provides instructions to correct the problem.
You can review the list of currently quarantined IP addresses from the Quarantined Streams page
(Events > Managed Streams > Quarantined Streams). You can also force an address into
quarantine, or release a quarantined address. For additional information, see “
Quarantined
Addresses” on page 113.
Note If using Quarantine on a managing SMS, you must add the SMS
notification contact to the action sets for filters. Only filters with the SMS contact
enabled on actions sets are accessible through the SMS for quarantine.
