Intrusion detection

The appliance has an internal intrusion detection switch.

The intrusion switch and intrusion detection are enabled by default. An administrator can configure the appliance to ignore signals from the intrusion detection switch or to reset intrusion detection.

If intrusion detection is enabled and the appliance detects an intrusion during normal operation, a warning message is displayed in the GUI for newly connected sessions and the appliance restarts in failsafe mode.

An administrator can reset the intrusion detection with the clear intrusion-detected command, see clear intrusion-detected.
