FTP Inspection
For connections using a DNS server, the source port of the connection may be replaced by the IP address
of DNS server in the show conn command output.
of DNS server in the show conn command output.
A single connection is created for multiple DNS sessions, as long as they are between the same two
hosts, and the sessions have the same 5-tuple (source/destination IP address, source/destination port, and
protocol). DNS identification is tracked by app_id, and the idle timer for each app_id runs
independently.

protocol). DNS identification is tracked by app_id, and the idle timer for each app_id runs
independently.
Because the app_id expires independently, a legitimate DNS response can only pass through the security
appliance within a limited period of time and there is no resource build-up. However, when you enter the
show conn command, you see the idle timer of a DNS connection being reset by a new DNS session.
This is due to the nature of the shared DNS connection and is by design.

FTP Inspection Overview
The FTP application inspection inspects the FTP sessions and performs four tasks:
•
Prepares dynamic secondary data connection
•
Tracks the FTP command-response sequence
•
Generates an audit trail
•
Translates the embedded IP address
FTP application inspection prepares secondary channels for FTP data transfer. Ports for these channels
are negotiated through PORT or PASV commands. The channels are allocated in response to a file
upload, a file download, or a directory listing event.

Note
If you disable FTP inspection engines with the no inspect ftp command, outbound users can start
connections only in passive mode, and all inbound FTP is disabled.
