Flexible Packet Matching Examples
Written by Paul Stewart   
Sunday, 04 April 2010
 

Flexible Packet Matching is one of those new technologies that is certainly fair game on the CCIE Security exam.  I'm sure if there are any questions in the lab, the gear would have the correct IOS to work properly with what is being asked.  However due to the somewhat unstable nature of this technology, it is difficult to lab.  Unfortunately, I keep thinking I understand FPM, but then something just doesn't work as expected.  Sometimes my issues are with the buggy software, sometimes it's my configuration.  Anyway, there are a lot of potential areas for problems.  I have worked through many scenarios of my own design.  I decided to post some of the examples that I have created and that I believe to work properly on 12.4(15)T. 

 

FPM Examples

 

//block all fragments
//this could be a service policy

//inside another policy type access control

//something that matches just ICMP (or any other protocol)

 

class-map type access-control match-any FRAGMENTS
  //IP Flags  = 3 bits (abc)
  //a=unused
  //b=dont fragmet
  //c=more fragments
  //this matches the first packet (but not the last)
 match field IP flags eq 0x1 mask 0x6
 //this would not match the first fragment
 //of a chain
 match field IP fragment-offset gt 0

 

policy-map type access-control FRAGMENTS
 class FRAGMENTS
   drop

interface
 service-policy type access-control input FRAGMENTS



//drop telnet to a single IP

class-map type access-control match-all TNTOHOST
 match field IP dest-addr eq 192.168.30.2
 match field TCP dest-port eq 23

 

policy-map type access-control TNTOHOST
 class TNTOHOST
   drop

class-map type stack match-all TCP
 match field IP protocol eq 6 next TCP

 

policy-map type access-control TCP
 class TCP
  service-policy TNTOHOST

interface
 service-policy type access-control input TCP


//block all ICMP

class-map type stack match-all ICMP
 match field IP protocol eq 1 next ICMP

 

policy-map type access-control ICMP
 class ICMP
   drop

interface
 service-policy type access-control input ICMP


//just drop ICMPECHO

class-map type access-control match-all ICMPECHO
 match field ICMP type eq 8

 

policy-map type access-control ICMPECHO
 class ICMPECHO
   drop

class-map type stack match-all ICMP
 match field IP protocol eq 1 next ICMP

 

policy-map type access-control ICMP
 class ICMP
  service-policy ICMPECHO

interface
 service-policy type access-control input ICMP

//drop icmp over 1000


class-map type access-control match-all BIGIP
 match field IP length gt 1000

 

policy-map type access-control BIGIP
 class BIGIP
   drop

class-map type stack match-all ICMP
 match field IP protocol eq 1 next IP

 

policy-map type access-control ICMP
 class ICMP
  service-policy BIGIP

interface
 service-policy type access-control input ICMP


//this works as long as not fragmented


class-map type access-control match-all BIGIP
 match field IP length gt 1499

 

policy-map type access-control BIGIP
 class BIGIP
   drop

class-map type stack match-all ICMP
 match field IP protocol eq 1 next IP

 

policy-map type access-control ICMP
 class ICMP
  service-policy BIGIP

interface
 service-policy type access-control input ICMP


//this never works on ethernet


class-map type access-control match-all BIGIP
 match field IP length gt 1500

 

policy-map type access-control BIGIP
 class BIGIP
   drop

class-map type stack match-all ICMP
 match field IP protocol eq 1 next IP

 

policy-map type access-control ICMP
 class ICMP
  service-policy BIGIP

interface
 service-policy type access-control input ICMP
