Poorly written rules or signatures can affect sensor performance
or have other consequences.
Using your own custom signatures include, but are not limited to,
the following risks:
- Unacceptable appliance performance
- Causing the appliance to go into an infinite loop
- Blocking all network traffic to a specific segment (inline mode
with or without bypass)
- Reinstalling the factory image to return to a "good" state
Attention: IBM® Support is not available to help write or
troubleshoot custom rules. If you need assistance with creating custom
signatures, contact IBM Professional
Services.
