UDP-SNORK-ATTACK
udp-snork-attack
DESCRIPTION
This command is entered in the Firewall-Attack Sub Configuration Mode.
This is an attempt to connect two services which, if enabled, will engage in an
indefinite communication with each other. This will cause many frames to be
unnecessarily transmitted, and dramatically reduce the performance of the
network and the systems involved. To avoid this Denial of Service overload
attempt, this command is placed in the default prevention list.
PARAMETERS
None.
EXAMPLE
ALU(config-firewall-attack-A1)# udp-snork-attack
