Description


This article describes the issue of not being able to preview the configuration in the Security Director when default IPS/ IDP policy is not configured.

 

Symptoms


A few probable causes for this issue are as follows:

 

If multiple IPS policies are defined in the Firewall rule >> advanced security tab. You should configure it under IPS policy under Global Options

 

[Error] Please configure Default IPS policy under Global Options as Multiple IPS policies are being used in the Firewall rules

Solution

 

If a device has multiple IPS policies attached to standard or unified firewall policy rules, then you must configure a default IPS policy.

If a device has more than one IPS policy but is not attached to any standard or unified firewall policy, then a default IPS policy is not mandatory.

 

 

 

 

To create a default IDP policy:

 

  • Select Configure > Firewall Policy > <Standard/Unified> Policies.

 

  • Click Global Options. 

 

  • Click the IDP Default tab. Click the + icon to create a default IDP policy. 

 

  • Configure the parameters & Click OK.

 

  • The default IDP policy for the selected device (s) is created
