Yes. The Intrusion Gateways learn normal network scanning traffic patterns and can be set to limit connections from a particular source that exceed these limits. This is important in preventing future attacks at the network elements. Network scans are associated with a particular source attempting to reach each and every address on the network. Scans exceeding a particular threshold will be blocked.
