cufwAaicGlobalNumBadPortRange

Module: CISCO-UNIFIED-FIREWALL-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-UNIFIED-FIREWALL-MIB::cufwAaicGlobalNumBadPortRange

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.491.1.5.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: Number of application protocol units that attempted to advertise illegal port ranges for secondary connections. An example of such an occurrence would be a passive FTP connection, where the server advertises a disallowed port range for data connection.

For this MIB to be implemented, the managed firewall must be implementing deep packet inspection of application traffic payloads.

This value is accumulated from the last reboot of the firewall.

What is cufwAaicGlobalNumBadPortRange?

This Counter64, in Protocol Data Units, counts application PDUs that attempted to advertise illegal port ranges for secondary connections, such as a passive FTP server advertising a disallowed data-connection port range, and requires deep packet inspection to be implemented. An admin uses this to catch applications trying to open secondary connections outside the ports policy permits, a classic evasion pattern for protocols like FTP that negotiate ports dynamically. A rising count here tied to FTP traffic would suggest an FTP server or client is misbehaving or attempting to bypass port restrictions.
