Creating a Rule Entry

Info

The SBC supports IPv4 addresses for this feature; IPv6 is not supported. See Managing Static IPv6 Route Tables.

  1. In the left navigation panel, click on Access Control Lists and click on the desired table.

  2. Click the Create Access Control List Entry ( ) icon.

  3. Enter the desired configuration. See General Information Panel - Field Definitions. For sample configurations, see see Sample ACL Rule Configuration.

  4. Click OK.

titleClick here for Sample ACL Rule (Packet Filter)
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 SBC 1000 has two IP interfaces

  1. Ethernet 1 IP: 12.3.10.10/24  (LAN-side, office-side, branch-side, corporate network-side)
  2. Ethernet 2 IP: 10.1.10.10/24  (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")

Create one rule for every SIP protocol/port combination on the SBC, based on all Signaling Groups. Source IP and mask, must match what is configured on the Federated-IP network as well.

In this example, perhaps 40.1.1.1 is an IP-PBX that supports SIP over UDP.

Create one rule for every SIP protocol/port combination on the SBC, based on all Signaling Groups. Source IP and mask, must match what is configured on the Federated-IP network as well.

In this example, perhaps 50.1.1.2 is a Lync Mediation Server that supports SIP over TLS.

Create one rule for every SIP server. This rule allows the TCP ACKs to return to the SBC. Source IP and mask, must match what is configured on the Federated-IP network as well.

In this example, perhaps 50.1.1.2 is a Lync mediation server that supports SIP over TLS.

             (Destination IP and mask may be replaced with a specific IP address of 12.3.10.10/255.255.255.255, for ensuring all communications only use that specific IP address. )
