Adding an IPS sensor
An IPS sensor must be created before it can be configured by adding filters and
overrides. To create an IPS sensor, go to Intrusion Protection > IPS Sensor and
select Create New.

Configuring IPS sensors
Each IPS sensor consists of two parts: filters and overrides. Overrides are always
checked before filters.
checked before filters.
Each filter consists of a number of signatures attributes. All of the signatures with
those attributes, and only those attributes, are checked against traffic when the
filter is run. If multiple filters are defined in an IPS Sensor, they are checked
against the traffic one at a time, from top to bottom. If a match is found, the
FortiGate unit takes the appropriate action and stops further checking.

A signature override can modify the behavior of a signature specified in a filter. A
signature override can also add a signature not specified in the sensor’s filters.

Custom signatures are included in an IPS sensor using overrides.
The signatures in the overrides are first compared to network traffic. If the IPS
sensor does not find any matches, it then compares the signatures in each filter to
network traffic, one filter at a time, from top to bottom. If no signature matches are
found, the IPS sensor allows the network traffic.

Includes only the signatures designed to detect attacks
against clients; uses the default enable status and action of
each signature.

Includes only the signatures designed to detect attacks
against servers and the SMTP, POP3, or IMAP protocols;
uses the default enable status and action of each signature.
