I'm fairly new to the Omada ecosystem having migrated from a Netgate switch that died and a handful of lower-end Unifi switches, so I'm still trying to learn and apply what I know from other platforms.  I'm using the above device as a gateway to a small-ish HOME network where I host about a dozen services for friends & family.  I've enabled IDS/IPS and configured it for HIGH security level.  I might simply not be fully understanding the whole IDS/IPS process in Omada, but if I look at the Threat Management tab in the Omada dashboard, I see lots of things like "misc-attack" from DShield, low-severity policy-violations, etc.  Are these indications that the controller has taken action and BLOCKED those attacks and policy violations?  Or, do I need to explicitly do a manual action to add those IP addresses identified into the Block List tab?  If so, why is the block list so severely limited in capacity (like I can only seem to select those DShield results and select "block" to add them to the Block List tab).  If I DO have to explicitly add those IP addresses to the block list, is there a way to increase the number of block list entries?  I think if I try to add more than 20 or so, I start getting alerts that the block list is full.

If it's simply my misunderstanding about how the IDS/IPS stack works in Omada, can anyone point me to any sort of good documentation so I can learn more?  Googling doesn't help much and always seems to just point be back to the forums here, for specific issues others have posted about.

 

Thanks in advance!
