Bot Control example: Excluding IP range from bot management

If you want to exclude a subset of web traffic from AWS WAF Bot Control management, and you can identify that subset using a rule statement, then exclude it by adding a scope-down statement to your Bot Control managed rule group statement.

The following rule performs normal Bot Control bot management on all web traffic except for web requests coming from a specific IP address range.
