fin-flood threshold

Use fin-flood threshold to set the global threshold for triggering FIN flood attack prevention.

Use undo fin-flood threshold to restore the default.

Syntax

fin-flood threshold threshold-value

Default

The global threshold is 1000 for triggering FIN flood attack prevention.

Parameters

threshold-value: Specifies the threshold value. The value range is 1 to 1000000 in units of FIN packets sent to an IP address per second.

Usage guidelines

With global FIN flood attack detection configured, the device is in attack detection state. When the sending rate of FIN packets to an IP address reaches the threshold, the device enters prevention state and takes the specified actions. When the rate is below the silence threshold (three-fourths of the threshold), the device returns to the attack detection state.

The global threshold applies to global FIN flood attack detection. Adjust the threshold according to the application scenarios. If the number of FIN packets sent to a protected server, such as an HTTP or FTP server, is normally large, set a large threshold. A small threshold might affect the server services. For a network that is unstable or susceptible to attacks, set a small threshold.
