Configuring a rule for IPv6 ext header types
ServerIron ADX has a set of built-in rules to manage IPv6 header types. In this case, the rule
command is used with a <ipv6-ext-header-type > variable specified in Table 17.
The following example configures the "filter5" security filter with a rule to drop packets that contain
the ipv6-ext-header type esp.
ServerIronADX(config)# security filter filter5
ServerIronADX(config-sec-filter5)#rule ipv6-ext-header-type esp drop
Syntax: [no] rule ipv6-ext-header-type <ipv6-ext-header-type> [log | no-log] [drop | no-drop]
The <ipv6-ext-header-type> variable is specified as one of the options described in Table
17.
The log parameter directs the ServerIron ADX to drop traffic on the bound interface that matches
the rule specified by the configured <ipv6-ext-header-type>. The no-log parameter disables
this function.
The drop parameter directs the ServerIron ADX to drop traffic on the bound interface that matches
the rule specified by the configured <ipv6-ext-header-type>. The no-drop parameter
disables this function
reserved ICMP type 255: reserved for expansion
router-advertisement ICMP type 134: router-advertisement
router-solicitation ICMP type 133: router-solicitation
