Sample ACL Rule Configuration

Isolated Management Traffic

Expand
Click here for Sample ACL configuration
Click here for Sample ACL configuration
Info

These are sample ACLs and should be customized for your specific deployment.

One use-case for access controls lists is to isolate management traffic on the SBC 2000 to accomplish the following: the SBC WebUI is available only through certain ports on the SBC (i.e., Admin port) and the SBC WebUI is not accessible on those ports.

In a hosted or multi-tenant environment, the SBC is managed by a service provider and is shared with multiple end-customers. The ADMIN port is used solely for managing the SBC by the service provider. In order to configure this ACL, you must do the following:

  • Create ACLs that describe the type of traffic that should be accepted or denied.
  • Bind the ACLs to the ports for the designated purpose.
Sample ACL "usertraffic"

This ACL allows packets related to VoIP application only and bound to all user ports. This example is for SBC 2000 and should be customized for your specific requirements.

Sample ACL Binding

The ACLs in this example are applied only to the inbound direction of the ports. Once the ACLs are bound to the ports, ports Ethernet 1-4 are used only for VoIP and not for management. The ADMIN port is used only for management and not for user traffic.

Typical WAN/LAN Deployment

Info

These are sample ACLs and should be customized for your specific deployment.

A typical SBC deployment may have two 'sides'.  One side is the LAN-side or the corporate-network side, and the other is the Internet-side, WAN-side or the provider-network side. Neither side should be trusted entirely.  ACLs must be configured so that only SIP/VOIP/RTP traffic is allowed on both sides. An additional task is usually to determine the IP interface WebUI/REST management is allowed on.

Note

When configuring ACLs, it is possible to isolate the SBC out of the network. Ensure there are rules in place to accept HTTPS on at least one IP interface. The order of rules in the ACL is important.

For this example, consider that the Sonus Ribbon SBC 1000 has two IP interfaces

  1. Ethernet 1 IP: 2001:db8:12:3:10::10  (LAN-side, office-side, branch-side, corporate network-side)
  2. Ethernet 2 IP: 2001:db8:10:1:10::10  (SIP trunk side, WAN-side, Provider-side, Internet-side)
LAN Side ACL

(For this example, this ACL must be applied to 'Ethernet 1 IP' as "Input ACL")
