You can create an exempt rule to skip detection of a set of attacks in certain traffic. You can specify the source and destination IP addresses as the match criteria for the exempt rule. This allows you to exclude traffic from specific hosts or networks from being examined by the IPS rulebase. You can also specify other parameters such as protocol, application, and attack objects for the exempt rule, but source and destination IP addresses are the most common ones. References: = Create IPS or Exempt Rules and rulebase-exempt
