Chapter 1 DoS Attack Prevention Configuration
Commands
1.1 DoS-Attack Prevention Configuration Commands
DoS attack prevention configuration commands are shown below:
dos enable
show dos
1.1.1 dos enable
Syntax
dos enable {all | icmp icmp-value | ip | ipv4firstfrag | l4port | mac | tcpflags |
tcpfrag tcpfrag-value}
no dos enable {all | icmp | ip | ipv4firstfrag | l4port | mac | tcpflags | tcpfrag}
Parameter
Parameter
Description
all
Enables to prevent all kinds of DoS attacks.
icmp icmp-value
Prevents the ICMP DoS attacks. Here, the icmp-value
parameter means the maximum length of ICMP packet, whose
default value is 512.
ip
Prevents those DoS attack packets whose source IP addresses
are equal to the destination IP addresses.
ipv4firstfrag
Starts to check the first fragment of IP packet.
l4port
Starts to check the L4 packets whose source port is equal to the
destination port.
mac
Starts to check those packets whose source MACs are equal to
destination MACs.
tcpflags
Starts to check the TCP packets with illegal flags.
tcpfrag tcpfrag-value
Starts to check the DoS attack packet of TCP fragment. Here,
the tcpfrag-value parameter means the minimum TCP header,
whose default value is 20.
Default value
DoS attack prevention is disabled by default.
Remarks
DoS attack prevention is configured in global mode.
The DoS IP sub-function can drop those IP packets whose source IPs are equal to
the destination IPs.

The DoS ICMP sub-function can drop the following two kinds of packets: 1.
ICMPv4/v6 ping packets whose size is larger than icmp-value; 2. ICMP packets.
The DoS l4port sun-function can drop those TCP/UDP packets whose source port
is equal to the destination port.
The DoS MAC sub-function can drop those packets whose source MACs are equal
to destination MACs.
The DoS tcpflags sub-function can drop the following 4 kinds of TCP packets: 1.
TCP SYN flag=1 & source port<1024; 2.TCP control flags = 0 & sequence = 0;
3.TCP FIN URG PSH =1 & sequence = 0; 4.TCP FIN SYN =1.
The DoS tcpfrag sub-function can drop the following two kinds of TCP packets: 1.
The TCP header is smaller than the first TCP fragment of tcpfrag-value; 2. TCP
fragments whose offset values are 1.
Example
The following example shows how to set the global DoS attack prevention function
to prevent those IP packets whose source IPs are destination IP addresses.
Console_config#dos enable ip
The following example shows how to set DoS attack prevention in global mode to
prevent those packets whose maximum ICMP length is bigger than 255.
Console_config#dos enable icmp 255
1.1.2 show dos
Syntax
show dos
It is used to show all DoS attack prevention functions that users have set.
Parameter
N/A
Default value
N/A
Remarks
