Auto-DoS
Hi Is the Auto-DoS function a joke???? If this is enabled it is enough for an attacker do just send one malformed packet and the Negear according to the docs shuts down the port permanently u...
I understand how it works now. Not ideal for us. But you sorted it out for me. For that I thank you very much.

Hi peos42,
Welcome to our community! :)
The purpose of the Auto-DoS is to prevent it from the attack and not to block. Unless, you manually create a MAC-ACL for you to block it. It doesn't have a feature that it will auto-open again.
Regards,
What I mean to say is, DoS feature will disable the port if it received an attack and prevent future attacks. If it has an auto-enabled feature, then it will just turn on and off. Once the port has been disabled, you need to look and check the device that is causing the issue and manually enable it once it's done. Sorry for the confusion. But we cannot block the device unless you use MAC-ACL.
