Chapter 18: Stateful Firewall Commands

Command Line Interface Guide

 

 

 

firewall allow

Creates a firewall rule that will be added to the firewall allow rules list. To view the current allow firewall rules, use the firewall list command.

NOTE:

If NAT is enabled on the router, then the outgoing firewall rules should be specified in terms of the private addresses. However, for inbound rules, the rules would need to use the router’s WAN address.

Mgmt Class

Security (R/W)

Input Format

firewall allow <protocol application> [<parameters>]

Parameters

The following parameters specify the <protocol> (-p) or <application> (-a) characteristics that a packet must have in order to match the firewall rule:

-p tcp udp icmp <protocol number>a

The packet must have the specified protocol.

-a imap telnet bootp nntp rpc tftp smtp dns ftp rexec rsh rlogin syslog winframe rdp http https ntp smb ras realaudio netmeeting aolim quicktime cuseeme netshow pptp nfs nis traceroute sqlnet ipsec

Packets must match the assigned application characteristics.

aInteger, numerical protocol ID.

The following <parameters> specify additional characteristics that an IP packet must have in order to match the firewall rule.

-sp <ICMP type> <first source port>[:<last source port>]

If the protocol is ICMP, the packet must match the specified ICMP type. If the pack- et is TCP or UDP, if only one source port is specified, the packet must have the specified port, or if a range is defined, a source port that is within the specified port range. If no source port is specified, the firewall rule matches any source port in the range 0 - 65535.

-dp <ICMP code> <first dest port>[:<last dest port>]

If the protocol is ICMP, the packet must match the specified ICMP code. If the pack- et is TCP or UDP, if only one port is specified, the packet must have the specified destination port, or if a range is defined, a port that is within the specified destina- tion port range. If no destination port is specified, the firewall rule matches any des- tination port in the range 0 - 65535.

-da <first dest ip addr>[:<last dest ip addr>]
