Chapter 24: Denial of Service (DoS) Commands

Caution

This defense is extremely CPU intensive and should be used with caution. Unrestricted use can cause a switch to halt operations should the CPU become overwhelmed with IP traffic. To prevent this, Allied Telesyn recommends activating this defense on only the uplink port and one other switch port at a time.

Example

The following command activates the defense on port 22:

set dos teardrop port=22 state=enable
