Command Authorization

The AAA command authorization feature configures FTOS to send each configuration command to a
TACACS server for authorization before it is added to the running configuration.
By default, the AAA authorization commands configure the system to check both the EXEC mode and
CONFIGURATION mode commands. To enable only EXEC mode command checking, use the
authorization config-commands
If rejected by the AAA server, the command is not added to the running config, and messages similar to
Message 1 are displayed.
Message 1 Configuration Command Rejection
04:07:48: %RPM0-P:CP %SEC-3-SEC_AUTHORIZATION_FAIL: Authorization failure
authorization failed for user (denyall) on vty0 ( 10.11.9.209 )
Protection from TCP Tiny and Overlapping Fragment
Attacks
Tiny and overlapping fragment attack is a class of attack where configured ACL entries—denying TCP
port-specific traffic—can be bypassed, and traffic can be sent to its destination although denied by the
ACL. RFC 1858 and 3128 proposes a countermeasure to the problem. This countermeasure is configured
into the stack units and enabled by default.
