syn-flood threshold
Use syn-flood threshold to set the global threshold for triggering SYN flood attack prevention.
Use undo syn-flood threshold to restore the default.
Syntax
syn-flood threshold threshold-value
undo syn-flood threshold
Default
The global threshold is 1000 for triggering SYN flood attack prevention.

Parameters
threshold-value: Specifies the threshold value. The value range is 1 to 1000000 in units of SYN packets sent to an IP address per second.
Usage guidelines
With global SYN flood attack detection configured, the device is in attack detection state. When the sending rate of SYN 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 SYN flood attack detection. Adjust the threshold according to the application scenarios. If the number of SYN 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.
