Port 0 in the session details

L4 Transporter

Hello,

 

Can someone please advise why our session list would have To/From port 0?

Hi @Farzana,

 

It's a PRED session (PREDICT).  These sessions may be created with a 0 as source/destination IP/port, since that information may not be known yet. Packets that match the Predict sessions will then change to normal FLOW session.

Hi @DAYANAND,

 

I wasn't able to find an existing bug with said behaviour.

 

Are you seeing this only when running the scheduled report ?

I mean, does the regular traffic log also show port zero ? I'm guessing these aren't PREDICT sessions 🙂 ?

 

Which 8.0 version are you running exactly ?

 

Cheers !
