Problem
You want to use Application Layer inspection rules for an application running on a nonstandard port.
Solution
To enable Port to Application Mapping (PAM), use the ip port-map command:
Router1#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1(config)#ip port-map http port tcp 8000 Router1(config)#end Router1#
Discussion
When configuring CBAC-supported applications, is it sometimes useful to be able to map nonstandard ports to the applications themselves. For example, CBAC supports the inspection of HTTP packets; however, by default the router will assume that all HTTP servers use TCP port 80. In the next example, we've configured CBAC to inspect HTTP sessions:
Router1#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1(config)#ip inspect name HTTPACCESS http Router1(config)#end Router1#
What happens if someone decides to run their HTTP server on a nonstandard port such as 8000? The answer is that CBAC will not recognize the session as an HTTP session and will not inspect the session. By using Port-to-Application Mapping (PAM) you can map port 8000 to an HTTP application, and CBAC will then handle it accordingly.
In the Solutions section, we mapped port 8000 to application HTTP using PAM. If we show the PAM configuration afterwards we'll see that port 8000 is now mapped accordingly:
Router1#show ip port-map http Default mapping: http tcp port 80 system defined Default mapping: http tcp port 8000 user defined Router1#
The problem with performing a generic port mapping like this one is that CBAC will now handle all traffic destined for TCP port 8000 as HTTP traffic. This might not be the most appropriate way to handle applications running on nonstandard ports. PAM also allows you to define the scope of the application mapping by the use of a simple ACL. By using an ACL to define scope, you can specifically define which servers are using which nonstandard ports.
In our next example, we configure PAM to use port 8080 for HTTP traffic, but only on server 10.1.2.14. This allows CBAC to inspect only packets destined for port 8080 on server 10.1.2.14 using its HTTP rules:
Router1#configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1(config)#access-list 22 permit host 10.1.2.14 Router1(config)#ip port-map http port 8080 list 22 Router1(config)#end Router1#
So now when we view the PAM configuration, we see that ports 80 and 8000 are mapped to HTTP, as well as the host(s) in ACL 22 using port 8080:
Router1#show ip port-map http Default mapping: http tcp port 80 system defined Default mapping: http tcp port 8000 user defined Host specific: http tcp port 8080 in list 22 user defined Router1#
Table 27-4 shows some of the common CBAC supported protocols that are eligble to use with PAM.
