Chapter55 Configuring the Botnet Traffic Filter
Configuring the Botnet Traffic Filter
Prerequisites
Enable ASA use of a DNS server according to the “Configuring the DNS Server” section on page 10-11.
Detailed Steps
Examples
The following multiple mode example enables downloading of the dynamic database, and enables use
of the database in context1 and context2:
hostname(config)# dynamic-filter updater-client enable
hostname(config)# changeto context context1
hostname/context1(config)# dynamic-filter use-database
hostname/context1(config)# changeto context context2
hostname/context2(config)# dynamic-filter use-database
The following single mode example enables downloading of the dynamic database, and enables use of
the database:
hostname(config)# dynamic-filter updater-client enable
hostname(config)# dynamic-filter use-database
What to Do Next
See the “Adding Entries to the Static Database” section on page55-9.
Command Purpose
Step1 dynamic-filter updater-client enable
Example:
hostname(config)# dynamic-filter
updater-client enable
Enables downloading of the dynamic database from the Cisco
update server. In multiple context mode, enter this command in
the system execution space. If you do not have a database already
installed on the ASA, it downloads the database after
approximately 2 minutes. The update server determines how often
the ASA polls the server for future updates, typically every hour.
Step2 (Multiple context mode only)
changeto context context_name
Example:
hostname# changeto context admin
hostname/admin#
Changes to the context so that you can configure use of the
database on a per-context basis.
Step3 dynamic-filter use-database
Example:
hostname(config)# dynamic-filter
use-database
Enables use of the dynamic database. In multiple context mode,
enter this command in the context execution space.
