Offloading NP4 anomaly detection

Network interfaces associated with a port attached to an NP4 processor can be configured to offload anomaly checking to the NP4 processor. This anomaly checking happens before other offloading and separately from DoS policy anomaly checking. Using the following command, each FortiGate interface can have a different anomaly checking configuration even if they are connected to the same NP4 processor.

The options available for this command apply anomaly checking for NP4 sessions in the same way as the command descrbed in Configuring individual NP6 processors on page 1215 applies anomaly checking for for NP6 sessions.

 

config system interface edit <port-name>

set fp-anomaly <anomalies>

end

where <anomalies> can be one, more than one or all of the following:

Example

You might configure an NP4 to drop packets with TCP WinNuke or unknown IP protocol anomalies, but to pass packets with an IP time stamp, using hardware acceleration provided by the network processor.

config system interface edit port1

set fp-anomaly drop_winnuke drop_ipunknown_prot pass_iptimestamp end
