Modifying the IPS Configuration for Security Devices
You can use the IPS section on the Modify Configuration page to modify the sensor configuration for a device. You must configure the SRX Series device to send attack packets to the Junos Space Network Management Platform. Select the device and configure the parameters such as host IP address for receiving packets, source IP address, maximum sessions, threshold logging interval, total memory, and port.
Refer to the Junos OS documentation available at http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/information-products/pathway-pages/junos/product/ for detailed information on the configuration parameters for a device.
