Syn floods are rate based (X per sample period)and the rates are tuneable. You need to make sure that you are sending sufficient numbers over the sampling period to trigger the alarm.

Thanks,

Could you please tell me the magic number to trigger the alarm? Is it configurable ?

Look through the signatures file and/or the NSDB (Network Security DataBase on the Unix Director or CSPM), and determine which signatures you expect to fire.

Run SigWizMenu and select the option to tune a particular signature.

Then enter the signature you want to change (or look at the default settings for).

For information on running SigWizMenu refer to:
