ZBF - Reading Dropping TCP Session ?

mauric
Level 1
Level 1

Hello

Finally, my ZBF Ver 15.x works and am really happy, but when I look at my log files so I have a lot of drop messages with which I can not start yet much. Is there a lookup page where I can control this.

How do I classify these messages

     - due to  RST inside current window with ip ident 0

     - on zone-pair Trusted->Internet class All_Protocols due to  Stray Segment with ip ident 0


can also control my internal "private" Network?, what is going on there or we have to go on here my loging.

Best regards
Mauri

Hi,

These log messages are seen when:

---- If a particular connection on router has already been terminated but the packets are still coming in, then the ZBF does not know which connection to associate these packets with and hence will drop.

This means that the web server sent a “reset” packet however the connection was already deleted on the router before this packet was received.

---- If the router receives out of order packets.

---- If the router receives an invalid SYN packet or a TCP packet with invalid segments in them, then the ZBF has cause to drop them.

So you can ignore these messages as they are pretty generic and if they are not impacting any production traffic.

That's great to know but they are filling my log buffer and I am missing important log messages.

I would like to stop this message.
