T through Z Commands
tcp-map
To define a set of TCP normalization actions, use the tcp-map command in global configuration mode. The TCP normalization feature lets you specify criteria that identify abnormal packets, which the security appliance drops when they are detected. To remove the TCP map, use the no form of this command.
tcp-map map_name
no tcp-map map_name
Syntax Description
map_name
|
Specifies the TCP map name.
|
Defaults
No default behavior or values.

Usage Guidelines
This feature uses Modular Policy Framework. First define the TCP normalization actions you want to take using the tcp-map command. The tcp-map command enters tcp-map configuration mode, where you can enter one or more commands to define the TCP normalization actions. Then define the traffic to which you want to apply the TCP map using the class-map command. Enter the policy-map command to define the policy, and enter the class command to reference the class map. In class configuration mode, enter the set connection advanced-options command to reference the TCP map. Finally, apply the policy map to an interface using the service-policy command. For more information about how Modular Policy Framework works, see the Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide.
The following commands are available in tcp-map configuration mode:
check-retransmission
|
Enables and disables the retransmit data checks.
|
checksum-verification
|
Enables and disable checksum verification.
|
exceed-mss
|
Allows or drops packets that exceed MSS set by peer.
|
queue-limit
|
Configures the maximum number of out-of-order packets that can be queued for a TCP connection. This command is only available on the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance. On the PIX 500 series security appliance, the queue limit is 3 and cannot be changed.
|
reserved-bits
|
Sets the reserved flags policy in the security appliance.
|
syn-data
|
Allows or drops SYN packets with data.
|
tcp-options
|
Allows or clears the selective-ack, timestamps, or window-scale TCP options.
|
ttl-evasion-protection
|
Enables or disables the TTL evasion protection offered by the security appliance.
|
urgent-flag
|
Allows or clears the URG pointer through the security appliance.
|
window-variation
|
Drops a connection that has changed its window size unexpectedly.
|
Examples
For example, to allow urgent flag and urgent offset packets for all traffic sent to the range of TCP ports between the well known FTP data port and the Telnet port, enter the following commands:
hostname(config)# tcp-map tmap
hostname(config-tcp-map)# urgent-flag allow
hostname(config-tcp-map)# class-map urg-class
hostname(config-cmap)# match port tcp range ftp-data telnet
hostname(config-cmap)# policy-map pmap
hostname(config-pmap)# class urg-class
hostname(config-pmap-c)# set connection advanced-options tmap
hostname(config-pmap-c)# service-policy pmap global

Usage Guidelines
The tcp-map command is used along with the Modular Policy Framework infrastructure. Define the class of traffic using the class-map command and customize the TCP inspection with tcp-map commands. Apply the new TCP map using the policy-map command. Activate TCP inspection with service-policy commands.
Use the tcp-map command to enter tcp-map configuration mode. Use the tcp-options command in tcp-map configuration mode to clear selective-acknowledgement, window-scale, and timestamp TCP options. You can also clear or drop packets with options that are not very well defined.
Examples
The following example shows how to drop all packets with TCP options in the ranges of 6-7 and 9-255:
hostname(config)# access-list TCP extended permit tcp any any
hostname(config)# tcp-map tmap
hostname(config-tcp-map)# tcp-options range 6 7 drop
hostname(config-tcp-map)# tcp-options range 9 255 drop
hostname(config)# class-map cmap
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list TCP
hostname(config)# policy-map pmap

|
Usage Guidelines
The telnet command lets you specify which hosts can access the security appliance console with Telnet. You can enable Telnet to the security appliance on all interfaces. However, the security appliance enforces that all Telnet traffic to the outside interface be protected by IPSec. To enable a Telnet session to the outside interface, configure IPSec on the outside interface to include IP traffic that is generated by the security appliance and enable Telnet on the outside interface.
Use the no telnet command to remove Telnet access from a previously set IP address. Use the telnet timeout command to set the maximum time that a console Telnet session can be idle before being logged off by the security appliance. You cannot use the no telnet command with the telnet timeout command.
If you enter an IP address, you must also enter a netmask. There is no default netmask. Do not use the subnetwork mask of the internal network. The netmask is only a bit mask for the IP address. To limit access to a single IP address, use 255 in each octet; for example, 255.255.255.255.
If IPSec is operating, you can specify an unsecure interface name, which is typically, the outside interface. At a minimum, you might configure the crypto map command to specify an interface name with the telnet command.
Use the passwd command to set a password for Telnet access to the console. The default is cisco. Use the who command to view which IP addresses are currently accessing the security appliance console. Use the kill command to terminate an active Telnet console session.
If you use the aaa command with the console keyword, Telnet console access must be authenticated with an authentication server.
Note
If you have configured the aaa command to require authentication for security appliance Telnet console access and the console login request times out, you can gain access to the security appliance from the serial console by entering the security appliance username and the password that was set with the enable password command.
Examples
This example shows how to permit hosts 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4 to access the security appliance console through Telnet. In addition, all the hosts on the 192.168.2.0 network are given access.
hostname(config)# telnet 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.255 inside
hostname(config)# telnet 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.255 inside

hostname(config)# show running-config telnet timeout
telnet timeout 10 minutes
This example shows a Telnet console login session (the password does not display when entered):
Type help or `?' for a list of available commands.
You can remove individual entries with the no telnet command or all telnet command statements with the clear configure telnet command:

Usage Guidelines
The test aaa-server command enables you to verify that the security appliance can authenticate and authorize users with a particular AAA server. Using this command simplifies verification of the configuration on the security appliance by removing the necessity of testing with a real supplicant. It also helps you isolate whether authentication and authorization failures are due to misconfiguration of AAA server parameters, a connection problem to the AAA server, or other configuration errors on the security appliance.
When you enter the command, you can omit the host and password keyword and argument pairs. The security appliance will prompt you for their values. If you are performing an authentication test, you can also omit the password keyword and argument pair and provide the password when the security appliance prompts you.
Examples
The following example configures a RADIUS AAA server named "srvgrp1" on host "192.168.3.4", sets a timeout of 9 seconds, sets a retry-interval of 7 seconds, and configures authentication port 1650. The test aaa-server command following the setup of the AAA server parameters indicates that the authentication test failed to reach the server.
hostname(config)# aaa-server svrgrp1 protocol radius
hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server svrgrp1 host 192.168.3.4
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# timeout 9
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# retry-interval 7
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# authentication-port 1650
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit
hostname(config)# test aaa-server authentication svrgrp1
Server IP Address or name: 192.168.3.4
INFO: Attempting Authentication test to IP address <192.168.3.4> (timeout: 10 seconds)

Usage Guidelines
The tftp-server command simplifies entering the configure net and write net commands. When you enter the configure net or write net commands, you can either inherit the TFTP server specified by the tftp-server command, or provide your own value. You can also inherit the path in the tftp-server command as is, add a path and filename to the end of the tftp-server command value, or override the tftp-server command value.
The security appliance supports only one tftp-server command.
Examples
This example shows how to specify a TFTP server and then read the configuration from the /temp/config/test_config directory:
hostname(config)# tftp-server inside 10.1.1.42 /temp/config/test_config

Usage Guidelines
The timeout command lets you set the idle time for connection, translation UDP, and RPC slots. If the slot has not been used for the idle time specified, the resource is returned to the free pool. TCP connection slots are freed approximately 60 seconds after a normal connection close sequence.
Note
Do not use the timeout uauth 0:0:0 command if passive FTP is used for the connection or if the virtual command is used for web authentication.
The connection timer takes precedence over the translation timer; the translation timer works only after all connections have timed out.
When setting the conn hh:mm:ss, use 0:0:0 to never time out a connection.
When setting the half-closed hh:mm:ss, use 0:0:0 to never time out a half-closed connection.
When setting the h255 hh:mm:ss, h225 00:00:00 means to never tear down an H.225 signaling connection. A timeout value of h225 00:00:01 disables the timer and closes the TCP connection immediately after all calls are cleared.
The uauth hh:mm:ss duration must be shorter than the xlate keyword. Set to 0 to disable caching. Do not set to zero if passive FTP is used on the connections.
To disable the absolute keyword, set the uauth timer to 0 (zero).
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the maximum idle time durations:
hostname(config)# timeout uauth 0:5:00 absolute uauth 0:4:00 inactivity
hostname(config)# show running-config timeout
timeout conn 1:00:00 half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00 rpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00
sip 0:30:00 sip_media 0:02:00
timeout uauth 0:05:00 absolute uauth 0:04:00 inactivity

timeout (aaa-server host)
To configure the host-specific maximum response time, in seconds, allowed before giving up on establishing a connection with the AAA server, use the timeout command in aaa-server host mode. To remove the timeout value and reset the timeout to the default value of 10 seconds, use the no form of this command.
timeout seconds
no timeout
Syntax Description
seconds
|
Specifies the timeout interval (1-60 seconds) for the request. This is the time after which the security appliance gives up on the request to the primary AAA server. If there is a standby AAA server, the security appliance sends the request to the backup server.
|
Defaults
The default timeout value is 10 seconds.

Usage Guidelines
This command is valid for all AAA server protocol types.
Use the timeout command to specify the length of time during which the security appliance attempts to make a connection to a AAA server. Use the retry-interval command to specify the amount of time the security appliance waits between connection attempts.
The timeout is the total amount of time that the security appliance spends trying to complete a transaction with a server. The retry interval determines how often the communication is retried during the timeout period. Thus, if the retry interval is greater than or equal to the timeout value, you will see no retries. If you want to see retries, the retry interval musts be less than thte timeout value.
Examples
The following example configures a RADIUS AAA server named "svrgrp1" on host 1.2.3.4 to use a timeout value of 30 seconds, with a retry interval of 10 seconds. Thus, the security appliance tries the communication attempt three times before giving up after 30 seconds.
hostname(config)# aaa-server svrgrp1 protocol radius
hostname(config-aaa-server-group)# aaa-server svrgrp1 host 1.2.3.4
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# timeout 30
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# retry-interval 10
hostname(config-aaa-server-host)# exit

timeout (gtp-map)
To change the inactivity timers for a GTP session, use the timeout command in GTP map configuration mode, which is accessed by using the gtp-map command. Use the no form of this command to set these intervals to their default values.
timeout {gsn | pdp-context | request | signaling | tunnel } hh:mm:ss
no timeout {gsn | pdp-context | request | signaling | tunnel } hh:mm:ss
Syntax Description
hh:mm:ss
|
This is the timeout where hh specifies the hour, mm specifies the minutes, and ss specifies the seconds. The value 0 means never tear down immediately.
|
gsn
|
Specifies the period of inactivity after which a GSN will be removed.
|
pdp-context
|
Specifies the maximum period of time allowed before beginning to receive the PDP context.
|
request
