Creating a traffic regulation policy

To monitor for extensive network traffic that could potentially overload your system, you can create one or more intrusion detection traffic regulation policies from the All Policies view or the Traffic Regulation Policies view. You can monitor for TCP or UDP connections.

Prerequisite: You must have *ALLOBJ and *IOSYSCFG authority to work with intrusion detection policies.
