Can't seem to test trigger alerts on the Intrusion Prevention. . . is it even working?

Question

Hello all, 
 We have a UTM 9 in the office and I was trying to test the Intrusion Prevention feature. 
 So under local networks I setup a host basically my computer. 
 And on another computer I used a program called IDSWakeup to hit it with different kind of attack signatures. Test ran. 
 But under live log I don't see anything in there. I set the attack pattern with no time limit . . . 
 Any ideas how to see this working? 
 Thanks 
 Andrew

Hi Andrew, 
 If you do that the communication will be through the switch locally and the traffic won't hit on the UTM hence, no logs. Configure a prey system on another interface over UTM and hit the system with an attack. 
 Thanks
