Session created by Syn Cookie

L2 Linker

Hello,

 

what process and what is going on if a session (SIP) is created by "Syn Cookie" ?

Is this a valid Session, does this indicate a Problem ?

 

We configured an App-Override Policy to mitigate Problems between Phone-System and SIP ALG.

We see now all Sessions are created based on Syn Cookies.

Syn cookies are part of zone protection(not app override)

It requires the client sending the original syn to complete a little "challenge" before the firewall accepts the connection as a valid session

 

The session is not created "by" the syn cookies, the syn cookie is an added tcp check to prevent syn floods

 

In regards to sip issues, you can try disabling the ALG via the application (objects > applications) before fiddling with app override

 

Hope this helps
