Ok,
What's the difference to IOS to inspect TCP based TACACS if I add it two ways?

First:

ip port-map tacacs port tcp 49
ip inspect name CBAC protocol tacacs

Second:
ip port-map user-tacacs port tcp 49
ip inspect name CBAC protocol user-tacacs

I thought that apart from verifying allocated port numbers for a particular 
application CBAC/ZFW should also track commands sent over this port.
I.e. if it is SMTP traffic then IOS should know that it is SMTP and nothing 
else. Otherwise what's the point of calling it port-application mapping if it 
is watch only layer 4 information.

Check the default port mapping for TACACS on IOS, it will be UDP/49. If you 
want to inspect tacacs you will need to use the user based port mapping.

Folks,
Is there any good of defining user based port mapping? Let's say I want to 
create a mapping for a non-standard port, for example telnet - 3020.
I'd go:
"ip port-map user-telnet-3020 port tcp 3020"
In my opionion this would be an empty container for an IOS because it wouldn't 
associate a real telnet traffic with it when I want to match for this 
non-standard protocol in CBAC or ZFW.
What's the point of having it in the first place? Has anyone used it in any 
configurations ?

Eugene
