Chapter 24 Configuring Denial of Service Protection
Configuring DoS Protection
When using security ACLs to drop DoS packets, note the following information:
• The security ACL must specify the traffic flow to be dropped.
• When adding a security ACL to block DoS packets to an interface that already has a security ACL
configured, you must merge the DoS security ACL with the existing security ACL.
• Security ACLs need to be configured on all external interfaces that require protection. Use the
interface range command to configure a security ACL on multiple interfaces.
The following example shows how a security ACL is used to drop DoS packets:
Router# clear mls ip mod 9
Router# show mls ip mod 9
