Chapter 14 Configuring Inspection for Management Application Protocols

GTP Inspection

Endpoint mapper service: not enforced

Endpoint mapper service lookup: enabled

Endpoint mapper service lookup timeout: 00:05:00

Medium—Default. Pinhole timeout: 00:01:00

Endpoint mapper service: not enforced

Endpoint mapper service lookup: disabled.

High

Pinhole timeout: 00:01:00

Endpoint mapper service: enforced

Endpoint mapper service lookup: disabled

Default Level—Sets the security level back to the default level of Medium.

Details—Shows the Parameters to configure additional settings.

Pinhole Timeout—Sets the pinhole timeout. Because a client may use the server information returned by the endpoint mapper for multiple connections, the timeout value is configurable based on the client application environment. Range is from 0:0:1 to 1193:0:0. Default is 2 minutes.

Enforce endpoint-mapper service—Enforces endpoint mapper service during binding.

Enable endpoint-mapper service lookup—Enables the lookup operation of the endpoint mapper service. If disabled, the pinhole timeout is used.

Enforce Service Lookup Timeout—Enforces the service lookup timeout specified. Service Lookup Timeout—Sets the timeout for pinholes from lookup operation.
