Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
Chapter 43 Configuring Inspection of Basic Internet Protocols
FTP Inspection
• Specify the FTP class map that you created in Step 3 by entering the following command:
hostname(config-pmap)# class class_map_name
hostname(config-pmap-c)#
• Specify traffic directly in the policy map using one of the match commands described in Step 3 .
If you use a match not command, then any traffic that does not match the criterion in the match
not command has the action applied.
b. Specify the action you want to perform on the matching traffic by entering the following command:
hostname(config-pmap-c)# {[drop [send-protocol-error] |
drop-connection [send-protocol-error]| mask | reset] [log] | rate-limit message_rate}
Not all options are available for each match or class command. See the CLI help or the command
reference for the exact options available.
The drop keyword drops all packets that match.
The send-protocol-error keyword sends a protocol error message.
The drop-connection keyword drops the packet and closes the connection.
The mask keyword masks out the matching portion of the packet.
The reset keyword drops the packet, closes the connection, and sends a TCP reset to the server
and/or client.
The log keyword, which you can use alone or with one of the other keywords, sends a system log
message.
The rate-limit message_rate argument limits the rate of messages.
You can specify multiple class or match commands in the policy map. For information about the order
of class and match commands, see the
“Defining Actions in an Inspection Policy Map” section on
page 33-2 .
Step 7 To configure parameters that affect the inspection engine, perform the following steps:
a. To enter parameters configuration mode, enter the following command:
hostname(config-pmap)# parameters
hostname(config-pmap-p)#
b. To mask the greeting banner from the FTP server, enter the following command:
hostname(config-pmap-p)# mask-banner
c. To mask the reply to syst command, enter the following command:
hostname(config-pmap-p)# mask-syst-reply
Before submitting a username and password, all FTP users are presented with a greeting banner. By
default, this banner includes version information useful to hackers trying to identify weaknesses in a
system. The following example shows how to mask this banner:
hostname(config)# policy-map type inspect ftp mymap
hostname(config-pmap)# parameters
hostname(config-pmap-p)# mask-banner
hostname(config)# class-map match-all ftp-traffic
hostname(config-cmap)# match port tcp eq ftp
hostname(config)# policy-map ftp-policy
