Blocking BitTorrent Traffic

[boon.ping]

Hi,

I have recently got a Cisco 877 Router for my company internet subscription. I would like to setup the router to block all BitTorrent traffic. Can you advise me how this can be done? Thanks.

do the following

class-map match-any sdm_p2p_kazaa

match protocol fasttrack

match protocol kazaa2

class-map match-any sdm_p2p_edonkey

match protocol edonkey

class-map match-any sdm_p2p_gnutella

match protocol gnutella

class-map match-any sdm_p2p_bittorrent

match protocol bittorrent

policy-map blocking_P2P

class sdm_p2p_gnutella

drop

class sdm_p2p_bittorrent

drop

class sdm_p2p_edonkey

drop

class sdm_p2p_kazaa

drop

the apply it in two directions on the outside interface

lets say

interface fa0/1

service-policy input blocking_P2P

service-policy output blocking_P2P

and should work perfect

good luck

please, if helpful rate

My IOS does not understand fasttrack, kazaa2, edonkey, gnutella, and bittorent. My version of IOS is 12.4T(15). And my router is Cisco 877. I thought QoS is avaible, but seems like it does not. Anything that I need to do to enable it? Newbies with Cisco router. Many questions. Thanks.

You may need to obtain some NBAR PDLMs so that your router can recognize the traffic you want to control.
