Exam JN0-336 Topic 1 Question 12 Discussion

You can specify the source IP address or a range of IP addresses to exclude certain traffic originating from specific network segments or devices. This is useful for whitelisting traffic from known, secure sources that are otherwise triggering false positives in the IPS system.
Similarly, you can specify the destination IP address or a range of addresses to exclude traffic destined for particular network hosts or segments. This helps in reducing false positives for traffic directed towards trusted internal resources or specific external services that are known to be safe.
