unknown-message

See the following sections:

unknown-message (H.323 ALG)

Syntax

unknown-message {
permit-nat-applied;
permit-routed;
}

Hierarchy Level

[edit security alg h323 application-screen]

Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 8.5 of JUNOS software.

Description

Specify how unidentified H.323 messages are handled by the device. The default is to drop unknown (unsupported) messages. Permitting unknown messages can compromise security and is not recommended. However, in a secure test or production environment, this statement can be useful for resolving interoperability issues with disparate vendor equipment. By permitting unknown H.323 (unsupported) messages, you can get your network operational and later analyze your VoIP traffic to determine why some messages were being dropped.

This statement applies only to received packets identified as supported VoIP packets. If a packet cannot be identified, it is always dropped. If a packet is identified as a supported protocol, the message is forwarded without processing.

This statement is supported on J-series devices.

Options

permit-nat-applied—Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in NAT mode.

permit-routed— Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in Route mode. (Sessions in Transparent mode are treated as Route mode.)

Usage Guidelines

For configuration instructions and examples, see the JUNOS Software Security Configuration Guide.

Required Privilege Level

security—To view this statement in the configuration.

security-control—To add this statement to the configuration.

unknown-message (MGCP ALG)

Syntax

unknown-message {
permit-nat-applied;
permit-routed;
}

Hierarchy Level

[edit security alg mgcp application-screen]

Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 8.5 of JUNOS software.

Description

Specify how unidentified Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) messages are handled by the device. The default is to drop unknown (unsupported) messages. Permitting unknown messages can compromise security and is not recommended. However, in a secure test or production environment, this statement can be useful for resolving interoperability issues with disparate vendor equipment. By permitting unknown MGCP (unsupported) messages, you can get your network operational and later analyze your VoIP traffic to determine why some messages were being dropped.

This statement applies only to received packets identified as supported VoIP packets. If a packet cannot be identified, it is always dropped. If a packet is identified as a supported protocol, the message is forwarded without processing.

This statement is supported on J-series and SRX-series devices.

Options

permit-nat-applied—Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in NAT mode.

permit-routed— Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in Route mode. (Sessions in Transparent mode are treated as Route mode.)

Usage Guidelines

unknown-message (SCCP ALG)

Syntax

unknown-message {
permit-nat-applied;
permit-routed;
}

Hierarchy Level

[edit security alg sccp application-screen]

Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 8.5 of JUNOS software.

Description

Specify how unidentified Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) messages are handled by the device. The default is to drop unknown (unsupported) messages. Permitting unknown messages can compromise security and is not recommended. However, in a secure test or production environment, this statement can be useful for resolving interoperability issues with disparate vendor equipment. By permitting unknown SCCP (unsupported) messages, you can get your network operational and later analyze your VoIP traffic to determine why some messages were being dropped.

This statement applies only to received packets identified as supported VoIP packets. If a packet cannot be identified, it is always dropped. If a packet is identified as a supported protocol, the message is forwarded without processing.

This statement is supported on J-series devices.

Options

permit-nat-applied—Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in NAT mode.

permit-routed— Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in Route mode. (Sessions in Transparent mode are treated as Route mode.)

Usage Guidelines

security-control—To add this statement to the configuration.

unknown-message (SIP ALG)

Syntax

unknown-message {
permit-nat-applied;
permit-routed;
}

Hierarchy Level

[edit security alg sip application-screen]

Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 8.5 of JUNOS software.

Description

Specify how unidentified Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages are handled by the device. The default is to drop unknown (unsupported) messages. Permitting unknown messages can compromise security and is not recommended. However, in a secure test or production environment, this statement can be useful for resolving interoperability issues with disparate vendor equipment. By permitting unknown SIP (unsupported) messages, you can get your network operational and later analyze your VoIP traffic to determine why some messages were being dropped.

This statement applies only to received packets identified as supported VoIP packets. If a packet cannot be identified, it is always dropped. If a packet is identified as a supported protocol, the message is forwarded without processing.

This statement is supported on J-series devices.

Options

permit-nat-applied—Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in NAT mode.

permit-routed— Specifies that unknown messages be allowed to pass if the session is in Route mode. (Sessions in Transparent mode are treated as Route mode.)
