General Information Panel - Field Definitions
Protocol
The protocol of the IP packets subject to this rule. Valid options: TCP, UDP, ICMP, OSPF, Any, or Other. Default value: TCP.
Action
Specifies the action to be taken upon packets matching this rule. Valid selections: Allow (default, packets matching this rule are accepted) or Deny (packets matching this rule are not accepted).
IANA IP Protocol Number
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) port number for various protocols. This field is available only when Other is selected from the Protocol drop down box.
Port Selection Method
Either Service or Single Port. The Services option allows you to define the service for either UDP or TCP protocol. The Single Port option should be used to specify a specific source or destination port number. This field is available only when either TCP or UDP is selected from the Protocol drop down box.
Service
| When this is the Protocol selection... | ...the Service choices are: |
|---|---|
| TCP |
|
| UDP |
|
Precedence
Every rule should have a unique precedence value. Value range is 1 - 65535, and default is 1.
Bucket Size
The policing bucket size (in packets). It 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.
0-255 packets/second
Fill Rate
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.
0-25000 packet/second.
Interface Name
A drop-down menu that allows the user to select an interface to which this ACL rule should be applied.
Source Panel - Field Definitions
IP Address
The IPv4 source address of the packets subject to this rule.
Netmask
The subnet mask of the source IP address.
Port Number
The port number associated with the source packets subject to this rule. This field is available only when TCP or UDP is selected from the Protocol drop down box and Single Port is selected from the Port Selection Method drop down box.
Destination Panel - Field Definitions
IP Address
The IPv4 destination address of the packets subject to this rule.
Netmask
The subnet mask of the destination IP address.
Port Number
The port number associated with the source packets subject to this rule. This field is available only when TCP or UDP is selected from the Protocol drop down box and Single Port is selected from the Port Selection Method drop down box.
