This object is used to configure the IP Access Control List rules. 

To View Rule

...

Use the IP Access Control List - Rule window to configure your own IP Access Control List (ACL) rules within a specified address context. Use IP ACL rules to permit or deny packets into the SBC. These rules are applied to incoming packets in addition to the system-defined and default ACL rules. Refer to IP ACL Policing - Packet Filtering and Types of ACLs for more information on SBC access control lists and types of rules.

To View Rules

On the SBC main screen, navigate to All > Address Context >

Parameter

Description

Name

...

Specify a name for the ACL rule.

Precedence

...

Specify the rule precedence

...

to control which ACL rule is applied when multiple rules match. If an incoming packet matches

...

multiple rules, the IP ACL rule with the highest precedence (lowest numeric value) is applied

...

to that

...

packet.

Each IP ACL rule must

...

include a precedence value and each precedence value must be unique.

Protocol

...

Specify an IP protocol type

...

to 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.

IP Interface
Group

...

Select an IP interface group to

...

specify to match

...

a specific IP interface group.

IP Interface

...

Select an IP interface to

...

specify to match

...

a specific IP interface.

Mgmt IP Interface Group

...

Select a Management Interface Group to match a specific Management Interface Group.

NOTE: The Mgmt IP Interface Group parameter is only available from the default Address Context, even if the default Address Context does not contain any other configurations.

Mgmt IP Interface

...

Select a Management Interface to match a specific Management Interface. 

NOTE: The Mgmt IP Interface parameter is only available from the default Address Context, even if the default Address Context does not contain any other configurations.

Source IP Address

...

Specify the source IP address to match.

...

The default is 0.0.0.0.

NOTE: If you configure a Source IP Address, then a

Source Address Prefix Length must also be specified.

Source Address
Prefix Length

...

Specify a length

...

for the source IP address prefix

...

. Must be 0 -

...

128, the default is 0.

Destination IP Address

...

Specify the destination IP address

...

to match

...

. The default is 0.0.0.0.

NOTE: If you configure a Destination IP Address, then a

Destination Address Prefix Length must also be specified.

Destination Address Prefix Length

...

Specify a length for the destination IP address prefix. The value ranges from 0 to 128

...

. The default

...

is 0.

Source Port

...

Specify a source port value. Must be 0 - 65535 or any, the default is any.

Destination
Port

...

Specify a destination port value. Must be 0 - 65535 or any, the default is any.

Action

...

Specify the action to

...

take when

...

a packet matches the rule. The options are:

  • Accept
  • Discard

Fill Rate

...

Specify the number of packets to add to the bucket credit balance (in packets/second). If

...

packets are received at a rate exceeding this fill rate,

...

they are discarded

...

subject to the discard rate set in the IP Policing Alarm profile or in

...

thePolicerAlarm monitoring this

...

port. The bucket credit balance is always less than the configured bucket size regardless of the size of this increment.

...

Must be 1 -

...

320000 or unlimited, the default is 50.

Bucket Size

...

Specify the policing bucket size (in packets).

...

This represents a credit balance that

...

can be consumed before

...

packets are discarded

...

which allows for occasional traffic bursts. If a packet is received when the credit balance is less than the size of the packet, the packet is discarded

...

subject to the discard rate set in the IP Policing Alarm profile or in

...

thePolicerAlarm monitoring this

...

port. Must be

...

1 -

...

255 or unlimited, the default is 50.

State

...

Specify the administrative state

...

for the ACL rule.

...

  • Enabled

...

  • Disabled (default)
