IP addresses protected by anti-DDoS devices are identified and grouped by adding a Zone. Then Zone-specific policies can be configured to achieve differentiated and hierarchical defense.
To add a Zone and associate it with devices, ensure that devices associated with the Zone have been discovered by the ATIC Management center.
User-Defined Zones
To protect specific IP addresses/address segments, the administrator can manually create user-defined Zones and add the IP addresses/address segments to the user-defined Zones. The anti-DDoS device uses defense policies to provide refined defense for traffic of these IP addresses/address segments.
The type of such Zones is User-Defined.
Default Zones
Each anti-DDoS device can be associated with only one default Zone, which does not have any given IP address. Refined defense can be implemented by the anti-DDoS device on the destination IP addresses except those in User-Defined Zones.
The type of such Zones is Default.
Outbound does not support Default Zones.
If a network is large or covers multiple areas and each administrator needs to manage one part of the network, you can create multiple Zones and authorize each administrator the permission of managing the corresponding Zone.
