In this section:
The SBC 5100, SBC 5110, SBC 5200, and SBC 5210 platforms are no longer supported beginning with the SBC Core 10.0.0R0 release. This release supports SBC 5400/7000/SWe platforms. Contact Ribbon Sales for upgrade information.
IMPORTANT
IP Access Control Lists (IP ACLs) are the packet filtering objects applied to incoming IP packets on the SBC Core. These objects protect the system from a variety of network-borne attacks.
Use IP ACLs to specify rules to permit or deny packets into the SBC. The IP ACL can optionally pass the traffic but at only a certain policed rate.
When you create an IP ACL rule, its state defaults to "disabled". Change the state to "enabled" to active the rule.
The default IP ACL supports 20 Record-Routes.
Note
When a user creates a new management group the user must add user defined ACL rules to get the equivalent rules that are set up for the default management group.
Note
The SBC 7000 system supports creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.
(This ability does not apply to the SBC 5400, which has only two physical media ports. You may configure the IP interfaces from the two physical ports within the same IP Interface Groups without restrictions.)
For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.
Refer to SBC Provisioning Limits for the maximum number of IP ACLs allowed on the SBC.
The SBC 7000/SWe CLI syntax, parameter descriptions and command examples is provided below. Refer to IP Access Control List - Cloud - CLI for Cloud-equivalent CLI.

IP Access Control List Parameters (Non-Cloud)
Parameter | Length/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
Mandatory parameters: | ||
| 1-23 | The name of the address context. The address context is a container of objects that correspond to a specific IP Addressing domain. |
| N/A | Access Control List rule name. |
| N/A | Action to take when this rule is matched.
|
| 1-255, or unlimited | The policing bucket size (in packets). A "bucketSize" represents a credit balance that should be consumed before the packets are discarded. The consumed credits reside in the bucket and gets reduced for every packet received on the Network Interface (NI). If a packet is received when the credit balance is less than the size of the packet, the packet is discarded subjected to the discard rate set in the IP Policing Alarm profile or in the Policer Alarm monitoring this Media Port. A setting of 'unlimited' allows continuous policing. (default = 50) |
| N/A | The length of destination IP address prefix which must match the protocol. (default = 0). |
| N/A | The destination IPv4 or IPv6 address to match. (default = 0.0.0.0). NOTE: When configuring a |
| 0-65535 | Destination port to match.. |
| 1-10000, or unlimited | The number of packets to add to the bucket credit balance (in packets/second). If a packet is received at a rate exceeding this fill rate, it is discarded subjected to the discard rate set in the IP Policing Alarm profile or in the Policer Alarm monitoring this Media Port. The bucket credit balance is always less than the configured bucket size regardless of the size of this increment. A setting of 'unlimited' passes packets unconditionally. (default = 50). |
| N/A | Enter IP interface name to match, or "any" to match any IP interface. (See Invalid Characters table below for a list of invalid characters) |
| N/A | Enter IP interface group name to match. (See Invalid Characters table below for a list of invalid characters) |
| N/A | Enter MGMT IP interface name to match, or "any" to match any MGMT IP interface. (See Invalid Characters table below for a list of invalid characters) |
| N/A | Enter MGMT IP interface group name to match, or "any" to match any MGMT IP interface group. (See Invalid Characters table below for a list of invalid characters) |
minTTL | <0-255> | Use this paramenter for BFD traffic submisstion to specify the minimum TTL value allowed. For single-hop BFD traffic, set the value to 255. Default is 0. |
| 1-65535 | Use this parameter to specify the rule precedence to control which ACL rule is applied when multiple rules match a given packet. If an incoming packet matches multiple rules, the IP ACL rule with the highest precedence (lowest numerical precedence value) is applied to that packet. Each IP ACL rule must use a unique precedence value. |
| N/A | Enter IP protocol type for use as a criterion of the IP input match. Choices are 0-255, or one of the following:
These protocols are typically associated with particular logical port values. |
| N/A | The length of source IP address prefix which must match the protocol (default = 0). |
| N/A | The source IPv4 or IPv6 address to match. (default = 0.0.0.0). NOTE: When configuring a |
| 0-65535, or any | The source IP port to match. (default = 'any') |
| N/A | Administrative state of the IP access control list rule.
|
vmAppName | N/A | The virtual machine application name against which to apply this ACL rule. If no name is specified, the rule is applied to the SBC application. |
Invalid Characters
| # | % | ^ | & | ( | ) | { | } | < | > | , | / | ; |
| [ | ] | = | ! | $ | * | ? | | | ~ | <space> | ' | " |

The following example CLI ipAccessControlList commands define ACL rules to allow SSReq to receive packets on ports 3090 and 3091:
- Port 3090 is used by SSReq Server to receive XML requests over UDP from a SSReq Client.
- Port 3091 is used by SSReq Server to receive XML requests over TCP from a SSREeq Client.
