Configuration tab<br />

The shund server accepts shunning requests from Intrusion Detection Servers<br />

(IDS), and verifies the signature on the data that the IDS has generated. If the<br />

signature is valid, a blackhole command is executed to shun the IP address as<br />

requested.<br />

To configure the shund server, follow the instructions below.<br />

In the Admin Console, select Services Configuration > Servers and select<br />

shund from the server list. The shund server Control tab appears.<br />

Configuring the Control tab<br />

A check mark will appear in front <strong>of</strong> each burb for which the shund server is<br />

enabled. To enable the shund server for one or more burbs, select the<br />

appropriate check box(es) in the Enabled For area. To disable the shund<br />

server in one <strong>of</strong> more burbs, deselect the appropriate check box(es). Click the<br />

Save icon to save your changes.<br />

To configure the IDS properties, select the IDS Configuration tab. The following<br />

window appears.<br />

The IDS Configuration tab allows you to configure the IDS servers from which<br />

the shund server will accept requests. The IDS Server Port field identifies the<br />

IDS Server Port. The default port is 8111. To modify the port, type the new port<br />

number in the IDS Server Port field, and click the Save icon. To revert to the<br />

default port (8111), click Restore Default.<br />

To view currently shunned IP addresses, click Current Shunned IP addresses,<br />

and see “About the Shunned IPs window” on page 75.<br />

To delete an existing IDS server, highlight the server and click Delete. You will<br />

be prompted to confirm the deletion. Click Yes to delete the IDS server, or No<br />

to Cancel.
