reverse-tcp-mss

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the TCP maximum segment size (MSS) for packets that match a specific policy and travel in the reverse direction of a session. The value you configure replaces the TCP MSS value when the value in the packet is higher than the one you specify.

The reverse-tcp-mss value per policy takes precedence over a global tcp-mss value (all-tcp, ipsec-vpn, gre-in, gre-out), if one is configured. However, when the syn-flood-protection-mode syn-proxy statement at the [edit security flow] hierarchy level is used to enable SYN proxy defenses against SYN attacks, the TCP MSS value is not overridden.

Because each policy has two directions, you can configure a value for both directions or for just one direction. To configure the TCP MSS value for the initial session, use the initial-tcp-mss option.
