ASP System Log Messages

This chapter describes messages with the ASP prefix. They are generated by services on the Adaptive Services Physical Interface Card (AS PIC), such as stateful firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), and intrusion detection service (IDS). For information about configuring system logging for services on the AS PIC, see the JUNOS Services Interfaces Configuration Guide.

For information about the fields in messages with the ASP prefix, see “Interpreting Messages Generated in Standard Format by Services on a PIC” on page 43.

Host destination-address, SYN-COOKIE protection deactivated

Description

Intrusion detection services (IDS) deactivated SYN cookie protection for the indicated destination address. IDS deactivates this protection when it learns from the stateful firewall that the rate of certain events has returned to a level below the threshold set by the 'threshold' statement at the [edit services ids rule <rule-name> term <term-name> then syn-cookie] hierarchy level.

The events include the ones reported by the ASP_IDS_TCP_SYN_ATTACK, ASP_SFW_SYN_DEFENSE, and ASP_SFW_TCP_SCAN system log messages. When SYN cookie protection is activated for a flow to a destination and the TCP handshake has not completed, the stateful firewall generates a SYN/ACK packet for each SYN packet directed to the destination.

ASP_SFW_ALG_LEVEL_ADJUSTED

System Log Message

ALG sfw-application-name specified by stateful firewall or CoS rule was reduced to nat-application-name, because twice NAT does not support ALG application

Description

A twice Network Address Translation (NAT) rule is applied to the same source or destination addresses as a stateful firewall or class-of-service (CoS) rule that applies an application-level gateway (ALG) other than Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) or traceroute. The configuration is invalid, because only those ALGs are supported in combination with twice NAT. The ALG configured in the stateful firewall or CoS rule was ignored, and only the application configured in the twice-NAT rule was applied. The adaptive services software accomplished this internally by adjusting the indicated ALG value (which is not supported with twice NAT) to the indicated supported value.

Type

Event: This message reports an event, not an error

Severity

warning

Action
