Virus Throttling

Basic Connection-Rate Filtering Configuration

Enabling Connection-Rate Filtering and

Configuring Sensitivity

Syntax: connection-rate-filter sensitivity < low | medium | high | aggressive >

no connection-rate-filter

This command:

■ Enables connection-rate filtering.

■ Sets the global sensitivity level at which the switch

interprets a given host’s attempts to connect to a

series of different devices as a possible attack by a

malicious agent residing in the host.

The no form of the command disables connection-rate filter-

ing on the switch.

Note: For optimum performance, reboot the switch after you

enable or disable connection-rate filtering.

low: Sets the connection-rate sensitivity to the lowest possible

sensitivity, which allows a mean of 54 routed destinations in

less than 0.1 seconds, and a corresponding penalty time for

Throttle mode (if configured) of less than 30 seconds.

medium: Sets the connection-rate sensitivity to allow a mean

of 37 routed destinations in less than 1 second, and a corre-

sponding penalty time for Throttle mode (if configured)

between 30 and 60 seconds.

high: Sets the connection-rate sensitivity to allow a mean of

22 routed destinations in less than 1 second, and a corre-

sponding penalty time for Throttle mode (if configured)

between 60 and 90 seconds.

aggressive: Sets the connection-rate sensitivity to the highest

possible level, which allows a mean of 15 routed destinations

in less than 1 second, and a corresponding penalty time for

Throttle mode (if configured) between 90 and 120 seconds.
