The following ACL example shows a firewall configuration when the SOCKS proxy server gateway
setting is enabled. As with the first example, the CTC workstation address is 192.168.10.10 and the
ONS 15454 address is 10.10.10.100. The firewall is attached to the GNE, so inbound is CTC to the GNE
and outbound is from the GNE to CTC. CTC CORBA Standard constant is 683 and the TCC CORBA
Default is TCC Fixed (57790).

13.6 Open GNE
The ONS 15454 can communicate with non-ONS nodes that do not support Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) vendor extensions or OSPF type 10 opaque link-state advertisements (LSA), both of which are
necessary for automatic node and link discovery. An open GNE configuration allows the DCC-based
network to function as an IP network for non-ONS nodes.
To configure an open GNE network, you can provision SDCC, LDCC, and GCC terminations to include
a far-end, non-ONS node using either the default IP address of 0.0.0.0 or a specified IP address. You
provision a far-end, non-ONS node by checking the Far End is Foreign check box during SDCC, LDCC,
and GCC creation. The default 0.0.0.0 IP address allows the far-end, non-ONS node to provide the IP
address; if you set an IP address other than 0.0.0.0, a link is established only if the far-end node identifies
itself with that IP address, providing an extra level of security.
By default, the SOCKS proxy server only allows connections to discovered ONS peers and the firewall
blocks all IP traffic between the DCC network and LAN. You can, however, provision proxy tunnels to
allow up to 12 additional destinations for SOCKS version 5 connections to non-ONS nodes. You can also
provision firewall tunnels to allow up to 12 additional destinations for direct IP connectivity between the
DCC network and the LAN. Proxy and firewall tunnels include both a source and destination subnet. The
connection must originate within the source subnet and terminate within the destination subnet before
either the SOCKS connection or IP packet flow is allowed.
