    It's the Interface flood events and not the TCP SYN floods events. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    We are seeing Interface Flood Events. We are trying to correct this situation by working with the remote end server but it would be nice to exclude this IP Address(s) until it's resolved. This way we would get only 'true' IDS flood events from a possible outside source.

    Hi Conrad.   Just to clarify, are you seeing interface flood events or TCP SYN flood events?  I assume it's the former, but would like to be sure.
