  Using TCP Stream Preprocessing
  •
For client services, specify 
smtp
  •
For server ports, specify 
21
  •
For server services, specify 
telnet
Although you can also specify 
all
 as the argument to provide reassembly for all ports, Cisco does not 
recommend setting ports to 
all
 because it may increase the amount of traffic inspected by this 
preprocessor and slow performance unnecessarily.
If no preprocessor rule is mentioned, the option is not associated with a preprocessor rule.
Perform Stream Reassembly on Client Ports
Enables stream reassembly based on ports for the client side of the connection. In other words, it 
reassembles streams destined for web servers, mail servers, or other IP addresses typically defined 
by the IP addresses specified in $HOME_NET. Use this option when you expect malicious traffic to 
originate from clients.
Perform Stream Reassembly on Client Services
Enables stream reassembly based on services for the client side of the connection. Use this option 
when you expect malicious traffic to originate from clients.
At least one client detector must be enabled (see 
for each client service you select. By default, all Cisco-provided detectors are activated. If no 
detector is enabled for an associated client application, the system automatically enables all 
Cisco-provided detectors for the application; if none exist, the system enables the most recently 
modified user-defined detector for the application.
This feature requires Protection and Control licenses.
Perform Stream Reassembly on Server Ports
Enables stream reassembly based on ports for the server side of the connection only. In other words, 
it reassembles streams originating from web servers, mail servers, or other IP addresses typically 
defined by the IP addresses specified in $EXTERNAL_NET. Use this option when you want to 
watch for server side attacks. You can disable this option by not specifying ports.
Perform Stream Reassembly on Server Services
Enables stream reassembly based on services for the server side of the connection only. Use this 
option when you want to watch for server side attacks. You can disable this option by not specifying 
services.
At least one detector must be enabled (see 
) for 
each service you select. By default, all Cisco-provided detectors are activated. If no detector is 
enabled for a service, the system automatically enables all Cisco-provided detectors for the 
associated application protocol; if none exist, the system enables the most recently modified 
user-defined detector for the application protocol.
This feature requires Protection and Control licenses.
Perform Stream Reassembly on Both Ports
Enables stream reassembly based on ports for both the client and server side of the connection. Use 
this option when you expect that malicious traffic for the same ports may travel in either direction 
between clients and servers. You can disable this option by not specifying ports.
