    On our Gateway I am monitoring about 12 different attacks from an IP from Russia using FTP.  The Gateway says it is monitoring the Botnet but not blocking it.  I have verified that this IP is not a good one.  How come out Gateway isn't blocking this?

    Came across this KB article which seems to cover this:

    Thanks.  Will check it out.  Found out that even though they are flagged as botnets they sometimes are not and that is why it just monitors for a while.

    I did block the IP to russia.  Figured that wasn't a good ip anyway.  :)

    Very help-full documents. but if swg is inline monitor mode and boots tab is blocking,
    so is to be possible all active bots is block. why i am asking this bcoz i got boots in SWG report  this are still active and monitoring. and i am using inline monitoring mode.
