Network requirements
As shown in Figure 87, the internal network is the trusted zone, the subnet where the internal servers are
located is the DMZ, and the external network is the untrusted zone.
Configure the LB module to perform the following operations:
• Protect the internal network against scanning attacks from the external network.
• Limit the number of connections initiated by each internal host.
• Limit the number of connections to the internal server.
• Protect the internal server against SYN flood attacks from the external network.

Configuration considerations
To satisfy the requirements, perform the following configurations on the LB module:
• Configure scanning detection for the untrusted zone, enable the function to add entries to the
blacklist, and set the scanning threshold to 4500 connections per second.
