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
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.

error
Host destination-address, SYN-COOKIE protection activated

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.

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
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.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
warning
Change the configuration so that twice-NAT rules (defined at the [edit services nat] hierarchy level) are not applied to the same source or destination addresses as rules defined at the [edit services stateful-firewall] or [edit services cos] hierarchy level that include ALGs other than the supported ones.
ALG promotion failed. Stateful firewall application sfw-application-name conflicts with NAT application nat-application-name or conflicts with QoS application; request creation of discard flow
A matching application-level gateway protocol (ALG) was found from both the indicated stateful firewall rule and either the indicated Network Address Translation (NAT) rule or a quality-of-service (QoS) rule, but the two ALGs were not at the same level.

The packet with the indicated characteristics matched the indicated term in the indicated stateful firewall rule, which has a 'reject' action. If the rule belongs to a rule set, the rule set name is also displayed. If the packet used the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the stateful firewall generated an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) error message.

notice
syslog-prefix error-code: proto protocol-id (protocol-name), source-interface-nameseparatorsource-address:source-port -> destination-addressdestination-port, event-type
The stateful firewall discarded the packet with the indicated characteristics, because the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) handshake that is used to establish a session did not complete quickly enough. The time limit is set by the 'open-timeout' statement at the [edit interfaces <services-interface> services-options] hierarchy level or is four seconds by default. The event was reported to intrusion detection services (IDS) and can cause IDS to activate SYN cookie protection. The discarded packet contained the indicated information about its protocol (numerical identifier and name), source (logical interface name, IP address, and port number), and destination (IP address and port number).
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
notice
Possible causes for the handshake failure include the following: (1) sequence numbers did not match in a SYN packet and a previous SYN packet (the second packet was not a retransmission) (2) sequence numbers did not match in a SYN/ACK packet and a previous SYN packet (3) either or both a SYN/ACK packet and an ACK packet did not arrive at the firewall within the time limit.
syslog-prefix error-code: proto protocol-id (protocol-name), source-interface-nameseparatorsource-address:source-port -> destination-addressdestination-port, event-type
The stateful firewall discarded the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) ACK packet with the indicated characteristics, either because it is the first packet in a session, or because its sequence number did not match the sequence number in the SYN/ACK packet that the firewall previously generated for the session. The firewall generates SYN/ACK packets when SYN cookie protection is activated. The discarded packet contained the indicated information about its protocol (numerical identifier and name), source (logical interface name, IP address, and port number), and destination (IP address and port number).
