Table 143 TCP Reset Logs

 

 

 

LOG MESSAGE

DESCRIPTION

 

Under SYN flood attack,

The router sent a TCP reset packet when a host was under a SYN

 

sent TCP RST

flood attack (the TCP incomplete count is per destination host.)

 

Exceed TCP MAX

The router sent a TCP reset packet when the number of TCP

 

incomplete, sent TCP RST

incomplete connections exceeded the user configured threshold.

 

 

(the TCP incomplete count is per destination host.) Note: Refer to

 

 

TCP Maximum Incomplete in the Firewall Attack Alerts screen.

 

 

 

 

 

Peer TCP state out of

The router sent a TCP reset packet when a TCP connection state

 

order, sent TCP RST

was out of order.Note: The firewall refers to RFC793 Figure 6 to

 

 

check the TCP state.

 

Firewall session time

The router sent a TCP reset packet when a dynamic firewall

 

out, sent TCP RST

session timed out.

 

 

The default timeout values are as follows:

 

 

ICMP idle timeout: 3 minutes

 

 

UDP idle timeout: 3 minutes

 

 

TCP connection (three way handshaking) timeout: 270 seconds

 

 

TCP FIN-wait timeout: 2 MSL (Maximum Segment Lifetime set in

 

 

the TCP header).

 

 

TCP idle (established) timeout (s): 150 minutes

 

 

TCP reset timeout: 10 seconds

 

 

 

 

 

Exceed MAX incomplete,

The router sent a TCP reset packet when the number of

 

sent TCP RST

incomplete connections (TCP and UDP) exceeded the user-

 

 

configured threshold. (Incomplete count is for all TCP and UDP

 

 

connections through the firewall.)Note: When the number of

 

 

incomplete connections (TCP + UDP) > “Maximum Incomplete

 

 

High”, the router sends TCP RST packets for TCP connections

 

 

and destroys TOS (firewall dynamic sessions) until incomplete

 

 

connections < “Maximum Incomplete Low”.

 

 

 

 

 

Access block, sent TCP

The router sends a TCP RST packet and generates this log if you

 

RST

turn on the firewall TCP reset mechanism (via CI command: "sys

 

 

firewall tcprst").

LOG MESSAGE

 

DESCRIPTION

 

[ TCP UDP ICMP IGMP

Attempted access matched a configured filter rule (denoted

 

Generic ] packet filter

 

by its set and rule number) and was blocked or forwarded

 

matched (set: %d, rule: %d)

according to the rule.

For type and code details, see Table 157 on page 443.

Table 145 ICMP Logs

LOG MESSAGE

DESCRIPTION

Firewall default policy: ICMP

ICMP access matched the default policy and was

<Packet Direction>, <type:%d>,

blocked or forwarded according to the user's setting.

<code:%d>

 

Firewall rule [NOT] match: ICMP

ICMP access matched (or didn’t match) a firewall rule

<Packet Direction>, <rule:%d>,

(denoted by its number) and was blocked or forwarded

<type:%d>, <code:%d>

according to the rule.

Triangle route packet forwarded:

The firewall allowed a triangle route session to pass

ICMP

through.
