syn-ack-flood threshold
Use syn-ack-flood threshold to set the global threshold for triggering SYN-ACK flood attack
prevention.
Use undo syn-ack-flood threshold to restore the default.
Syntax
syn-ack-flood threshold threshold-value
undo syn-ack-flood threshold
Default
The global threshold is 1000 for triggering SYN-ACK flood attack prevention.
Views
Attack defense policy view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
mdc-admin
Parameters
threshold-value: Specifies the threshold value. The value range is 1 to 1000000 in units of SYN-ACK
packets sent to an IP address per second.
Usage guidelines
With global SYN-ACK flood attack detection configured, the device is in attack detection state. When
the sending rate of SYN-ACK packets to an IP address reaches the threshold, the device enters
prevention state and takes the specified actions. When the rate is below the silence threshold
(three-fourths of the threshold), the device returns to the attack detection state.
The global threshold applies to global SYN-ACK flood attack detection. Adjust the threshold
according to the application scenarios. If the number of SYN-ACK packets sent to a protected server,
such as an HTTP or FTP server, is normally large, set a large threshold. A small threshold might
affect the server services. For a network that is unstable or susceptible to attacks, set a small
threshold.

policy atk-policy-1.
