BIG-IQ supports Zone Based DoS

In this release, we have added support for Zone Based DoS to the BIGIQ central manager. Zone Based DoS allows customers who would prefer to manage DoS profiles on a per-VLAN basis the ability to associate a DoS policy to a VLAN, then move specific traffic to that defined VLAN, and mitigate traffic accordingly. With this feature, BIG-IQ can now create and modify zone based policies and then deploy those updates to the BIG-IP devices it manages.
This new Zone Based DoS feature is supported in BIG-IP 15.1.8 and later.
