step until deciding to
move to the next mitigation step.
Option Description
Escalation Period Specifies the minimum time spent in each mitigation step before
the system
moves to the next step when preventing attacks against an attacker IP address or
attacked URL. During a DoS attack, the system performs attack prevention for
the amount of time configured here for the mitigation methods that are enabled.
If after this period the attack is not stopped, the system enforces the next
enabled prevention step. Type a number between 1 and 3600. The default is
120 seconds.
De-escalation
Period
Specifies the time spent in the final escalation step until retrying the steps
using
the mitigation methods that are enabled. Type a number (greater than the
escalation period) between 0 (meaning the steps are never retried) and 86400
seconds. The default value is 7200 seconds (2 hours).
DoS mitigation is reset after 2 hours, even if the detection criteria still hold,
regardless
