Mitigating spam traffic on a Cisco ASA

DEFINE TRAFFIC

First of all we define which traffic the MPF policy will be applied to. In the example below we exclude the host 8.8.8.8 whilst inspecting all other traffic.

cisco-asa(config)# access-list mpf-policy-acl extended permit ip any any

CREATE CLASS-MAP

Next we assign the previously created access-list to a class-map.

cisco-asa(config)# class-map mpf-policy
cisco-asa(config-cmap)# match access-list mpf-policy-acl
cisco-asa(config-cmap)# exit

CREATE POLICY-MAP

Then a policy-map is created and the necessary connection limits defined.

cisco-asa(config)# policy-map mpf-policy-map
cisco-asa(config-pmap)# class mpf-policy
cisco-asa(config-pmap-c)# set connection conn-max 9500
cisco-asa(config-pmap-c)# set connection embryonic-conn-max 5000
cisco-asa(config-pmap-c)# set connection per-client-embryonic-max 100
cisco-asa(config-pmap-c)# set connection per-client-max 300
cisco-asa(config-pmap-c)# exit
cisco-asa(config-pmap)# exit
