Functional Notes
Enabling the ALG for a specific protocol gives the firewall additional information about that complex
protocol and causes the firewall to perform additional processing for packets of that protocol. When the
ALG is disabled, the firewall treats the complex protocol as any other simple protocol. The firewall needs
no special knowledge to work well with simple protocols.
Disabling the IP firewall ALG may cause the firewall to block some of the traffic for the
specified protocol.
Microsoft Service Network (MSN) ALG Information
In some instances where the firewall is enabled and traffic is source NATed through the unit, some features
of MSN's instant messenger program will not work (i.e., file sharing, direct connection, etc.). Enabling the
MSN ALG allows the firewall to inspect the MSN messaging protocol to allow some of these features to
work through network address translation (NAT). If the traffic is not NATed, then this ALG is not required
and should be disabled.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ALG Information
By default, the AOS SIP ALG is enabled. This ALG allows the firewall to examine the ALL SIP packets it
identifies and maintain knowledge of SIP transmissions on the network based on the SIP header.
Usage Examples
The following example disables ALG for FTP:
(config)#no ip firewall alg ftp
60000CRG0-35E
Enables the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ALG. This ALG is only used in
ADTRAN router and switch products, not voice products.
