DNS UDP datagram size

Rutger Blom

Hello,

The default policy on an ASA firewall is to drop DNS UDP datagrams larger than 512 bytes. Have you modified this policy? We had quite some DNS root-servers sending UDP packets of 541 bytes. Is there som general recommendation?

Best regards,

Rutger Blom

I allways increase this number to 1024.

Security-525(config)# policy-map type inspect dns migrated_dns_map_1

Security-525(config-pmap)# parameters

Security-525(config-pmap-p)# message-length maximum 1024

I know this is an old post and my question relates to IOS Firewall. How do you change the DNS UPD packet size on an IOS firewall?

I know how to do this on a PIX, but not on the IOS firewall.

Thanks.
