CustomizingSun RPC Services

Because Sun RPC services use dynamically negotiated ports, you cannot use regular fixed TCP/UDP ports to permit Sun RPC services in a security policy. Instead, you must specify a Sun RPC program number. For example, NFS uses two program numbers: 100003 and 100227. The corresponding TCP/UDP ports are dynamic. To permit the program numbers, you use a set applications application-name term term-name rpc-program-number number statement for each number. The ALG maps the program numbers into dynamically negotiated TCP/UDP ports and permits or denies the service based on a policy you configure.
