Functional Notes
Enabling the Application Layer Gate way (ALG) for a specific protocol gives the firewa ll addi tiona l
information about that complex protocol and causes the firewall to perform additional processing for
packets of that protocol. When the ALG is disabled, the firewall treats the complex protocol as any other
simple protocol. The firewall needs no special knowledge to work well with simple protocols.
Usage Examples
The following example disables ALG for FTP:
(config)#no ip firewall alg ftp
Disabling the IP firewall ALG may cause the firewall to block some of the traffic for
the specified protocol.
