ASM - Accept Suggestion

Hi All,

 

Need further clarifications on Accept Suggestion

 

As per https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_asm/manuals/product/asm-config-11-2-0/asm_learning.html1081869, i quote :

 

"When you accept a learning suggestion, the system updates the current edited security policy to accept the request entity that triggered the violation"

 

Does this actually mean that from next time on that specific request will be allowed by F5 ?

 

If in case i click on "Accept Suggestion", how do i revert it back just in case if necessary.

    Prince,

     

    "Does this actually mean that from next time on that specific request will be allowed by F5 ?" - yes, that's right. It makes the policy change so this traffic is now classed as Legal.

     

    To revert back you can restore back a previous policy, see Policy history section. Else you can manually remove whatever entry it added.

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi All,

     

    I just want to ask "When you accept a learning suggestion" It makes the policy change.

     

    Ok but when F5 ASM policy builder suggest that this is violation and you should block it and when we accept suggestion of policy builder. Does it is updated in policy as violation and it will block request ?
