The deception syn-connect rate command sets a TCP port scanning threshold.
The undo deception syn-connect rate command restores the TCP port scanning threshold to the default value.
By default, the TCP port scanning threshold is 100 times per second.
Parameter | Description | Value |
---|---|---|
rate-number | Specifies a TCP port scanning threshold. |
The value is an integer in the range from 1 to 20000, in "times per second". |
If the frequency of scanning a TCP port by a source IP address reaches the specified threshold, the switch considers the event to be a suspected attack. Once the switch detects that the scanned TCP port is unopened, it immediately lures the traffic to the Decoy for further detection.
