Limit number of connections from one IP to checkpoint

Hello Checkmate,

 

I have a Checkpoint R80.10 facing to internet. I saw a lot of connections to my webserver behind CP in smart console log like this:

My question is how I can rate the number of connections of above IP , for example: when it already has 20 connections , a connection of 21th coming will be droped?

Thank a lot !!

First off, do NOT use the IPS signature "Network Quota" to do this as it will prevent practically all traffic from being accelerated on the firewall.

The best place to enforce rate limits is from SecureXL and is done from the firewall CLI, check out the "fw samp" command (R80.10 and earlier) and the "fwaccel dos rate/fw sam_policy" commands (R80.20+).
