Configuring an HTTP DoS service

After you configure an HTTP DoS policy, you must configure a service for your policy. The service accepts HTTP traffic that is protected by the HTTP DoS policy.

Configure an HTTP DoS service by using the CLI

At the command prompt, type one of the following commands to configure an HTTP DoS service and verify the configuration:

-  add service <name>@ (<IP>@ | <serverName>@) HTTP <port> [-maxClient <positive_integer>] [-maxReq <positive_integer>] -state ENABLED
-  set service <name>@ (<IP>@ | <serverName>@) HTTP <port> [-maxClient <positive_integer>] [-maxReq <positive_integer>] -state ENABLED
 

Example:

> add service ser-HTTP-Dos1 10.102.29.40 HTTP 87
 Done
> set service ser-HTTP-Dos1 -maxReq 20
 Done
> show service

In the Create Server or Configure Server dialog box, specify values for the following parameters, which correspond to the descriptions in “Parameters for configuring an HTTP DoS service” as follows (asterisk indicates a required parameter):
- Service Name*—name (You cannot change the name of an existing service.)
- Server*—IP or serverName (Specify one or the other, not both.)
- Port*—port
If the Enable Service check box is not selected, select it.
Select the Advanced tab, and select the Override Global check box to enable those choices.
Specify values for the following parameters.
