Enabling the firewall function
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enable the IPv4 firewall function.
Configuring an ASPF policy
Follow these guidelines when you configure an ASPF policy:
•
If you enable TCP or UDP inspection without configuring application layer protocol inspection,
some packets might fail to get a response. Therefore, enable application layer protocol
inspection together with TCP/UDP inspection.
•
In the case of a Telnet application, you only need to configure TCP inspection.
•
The timeout value specified in the detect command takes precedence to that specified in the
aging-time command.
To configure an ASPF policy:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Create an ASPF policy and
enter its view.
3.
Set the TCP/UDP session
timeout periods.
4.
Configure ASPF inspection
for application layer and
transport layer protocols.
