Botnet IPs is not blocked, however, they are still detected and included in the Botnet Filter Statistics.
TIP: Clear should be used in conjunction with the Monitoring Period. For example, if Last 12 Hours is
selected for the Monitoring Period, when clicking Clear, all histories that are beyond the “Last 12 Hours”
are cleared, while the latest “Last 12 Hours” histories are kept.
NOTE: An IP address can be manually identified as a Botnet IP address by using the Botnet Test diagnostic
tool accessed from the System > Diagnostics page.
