IPS Status

The top part of the screen gives the status of the Intrusion Prevention Service on the system. It gives the date and time of the Latest available Signature Database, and the zones that are IPS-enabled. If you want to enable the Intrusion Prevention Service in a certain zone, click on the word Zone in this section to get a link to the Zone page.

The IPS Status section also indicates the state of Stack Traffic Inspection, showing whether the firewall is actively scanning inbound management and service traffic using special IPS signatures.

Stack Traffic Inspection requires a valid IPS license and connectivity to the SonicWall License Manager. If License Manager connectivity is lost, stack traffic inspection is automatically suspended until the next successful connection.
