ASN based IP Whitelisting

Rama Sadhu Updated by Rama Sadhu

Introduction

We maintain two databases: the Honeypot Database and the Criminal IP Database, both of which contain collections of malicious IPs. Through the Criminal IP Database, customers have the option to whitelist IPs based on their ASN. 

An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is an identifier associated with a collection of IP addresses. When a customer chooses to whitelist, certain IPs based on their ASN, those IPs are allowed even if they are listed in a criminal IP database. As a result, the associated risk score may be disregarded. This practice helps reduce false positives.

How to Whitelist Criminal/Malicious IP

  1. Go to Protect > Bot Protection > Policies > IP Reputation.
  2. Click on the Settings icon given. 
  3. Select Criminal IP DB. 
  4. Enter ASN name, click ADD, and then Save.
  5. Once the ASN is added, IPs associated with the ASN are whitelisted and ready for criminal DB check.
