IP Access Control List - Non-Cloud - CLI

In this section:

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 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support 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 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.)

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 5xx0/7000/SWe CLI syntax, parameter descriptions and command examples is provided below. Refer to IP Access Control List - Cloud - CLI for Cloud-equivalent CLI.

Command Parameters

Note

The following conditions apply:

sourceIpAddress and sourcePort belong to the entity that sends packets to the SBC.
destinationIpAddress and destinationPort belong to the SBC that receives the packets.
ACLs is applicable only when an instance is receiving the packets and not when sending out the packets.

IP Access Control List Parameters (Non-Cloud)

Parameter	Length/Range	Description
Mandatory parameters:
`addressContext`	1-23	The name of the address context. The address context is a container of objects that correspond to a specific IP Addressing domain.
`rule`	N/A	Access Control List rule name.
`action`	N/A	Action to take when this rule is matched. `accept` – (default) Incoming packets matching this ACL rule are accepted into the system. `discard` – Incoming packets matching this ACL rule are discarded (not allowed into system).
`bucketSize`	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)
`destinationAddressPrefixLength`	N/A	The length of destination IP address prefix which must match the protocol. (default = 0).
`destinationIpAddress`	N/A	The destination IPv4 or IPv6 address to match. (default = 0.0.0.0). NOTE: When configuring a `destinationIpAddress`, the `destinationAddressPrefixLength` must also be specified.
`destinationPort`	0-65535	Destination port to match..
`fillRate`	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).
`ipInterface`	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)
`ipInterfaceGroup`	N/A	Enter IP interface group name to match. (See Invalid Characters table below for a list of invalid characters)
`mgmtIpInterface`	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)
`mgmtIpInterfaceGroup`	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)
`precedence`	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.
`protocol`	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: `any` – (default) filter all protocols `icmp` – filter ICMP only `icmpv6` – filter ICMPv6 only `ospf` – filter OSPF only `tcp` – filter TCP only `udp` – filter UDP only These protocols are typically associated with particular logical port values.
`sourceAddressPrefixLength`	N/A	The length of source IP address prefix which must match the protocol (default = 0).
`sourceIpAddress`	N/A	The source IPv4 or IPv6 address to match. (default = 0.0.0.0). NOTE: When configuring a `sourceIpAddress`, the `sourceAddressPrefixLength` must also be specified.
`sourcePort`	0-65535, or any	The source IP port to match. (default = 'any')
`state`	N/A	Administrative state of the IP access control list rule. `enabled` – All incoming packets are matched against this ACL rule. `disabled` – (default) The ACL rule is not used for any incoming packet matching.
`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.

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.

System ACLs are displayed only for default AddressContext.
