183. LMS IP Security Table Panel

This table contains the filtering information which specifies the protocol type (IP, ICMP, UDP, or TCP) as well as the source and destination IP addresses/masks against which the incoming and outgoing packets may be checked. This checking is done on the packets received or routed by the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. No checking will be done on the packets generated by the module itself.

To add an entry to this table, select Add Entry. A pop-up menu will allow you to specify the following parameters:

ID

This parameter is a unique numeric identification number for each Security Table entry.

Protocol

This parameter allows you to select this entrys protocol field. The valid values are IP, ICMP, UDP, or TCP.

Action

This field indicates the action to be taken on a frame that matches the criteria configured in the source and/or destination address/mask field entries. The valid options are block or pass.

Operator

The operator is used to compare the received contents of the received packet against the criteria defined via the source and/or destination address/mask entries. It is also used to compare the contents of the operand with the destination TCP/UDP port number stored in the incoming datagram.

The valid values for the operand are lt (less than), gt (greater than), eq (equal), and neq (not equal).
