RE: Access-list - Deny TFTP

Justin,
A TFTP client only sends the first packet to the TFTP server with a
destination UDP port of 69. The server never responds using port 69. The
server will use a UDP high port to respond back to the client's UDP high
port.

I teach this in my ACPC2 class which covers the security portion of the CCIE
lab. I find that a lot of the CCIE candidates don't fully understand how
TFTP really works and could get bitten in the lab on it. I would recommend
reading the RFC on TFTP. Also it's not a bad idea to break out a Sniffer and
capture a TFTP session.

I could of swore there was a bit of a trick in there because of the way tftp
changes to high ports after being established. If I can remember correctly
it became an issue when the requirements say something like: allow tftp from
network X and block everything else ..let me know if I am just way off
here. Thanks,
justin

Well,

TFTP uses UDP so you need the following:

access-list 101 deny udp any any eq tftp

Hope that helps...

I am drawing a blank and I can't remember the proper way to block TFTP in an
access list. Can someone help me out. Thanks,

Justin
