Configuring TCP Normalization
Configuring TCP Normalization
TCP normalization is a feature consisting of advanced TCP connection settings designed to drop packets
that do not appear normal. It is used with Modular Policy Framework to create a security policy applied
to the security appliance. Once a TCP map is created, it is applied using the policy-map command, and
activated using the service-policy command. For more information about Modular Policy Framework,
see Chapter 18, “Using Modular Policy Framework.”
For example, you can use TCP map to allow the URG pointer for certain applications, such as rsh, rlogin,
FTP, and Telnet, but clear for the others. The TCP normalizer commands are used with the existing
Modular Policy Framework commands to set advanced TCP connection settings.
To configure advanced TCP connection settings, perform the following steps:
Step 1 To create a TCP map that allows urgent flag and urgent offset packets, enter the following commands:
hostname(config)# tcp-map tmap
hostname(config-tmap)# urgent-flag allow
TCP normalization includes the following settings, which are configurable in tcp-map configuration
mode.
Step 2 To identify traffic, add a class map using the class-map command according to Chapter 18, “Using
Modular Policy Framework.” Enter the following commands:
hostname(config)# class-map urg-class
hostname(config-cmap)# match port tcp range ftp-data telnet
Step 3 To add a policy map that identifies the class map and the TCP map, enter the following commands:
hostname(config)# policy-map pmap
hostname(config-pmap)# class urg-class
hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection advanced-options tmap
queue-limit Configures the maximum number of out-of-order packets that can be
queued for a TCP connection.
urgent-flag Allows or clears the URG pointer through the security appliance.
tcp-options Allows or clears the selective-ack, timestamps, or window-scale TCP
options.
window-variation Drops a connection that has changed its window size unexpectedly.
ttl-evasion-protection Enables or disables the TTL evasion protection offered by the security
appliance.
reserved-bits Sets the reserved flags policy in the security appliance.
check-retransmission Enables and disables the retransmit data checks.
exceed-mss Allows or drops packets that exceed MSS set by peer.
syn-data Allows or drops SYN packets with data.
checksum-verification Enables and disable checksum verification.
