Chapter 5

•• Deny  Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.

•• Shutdown  Drops packet that meets the ACL criteria, and disables the port to which the packet was addressed. Ports are reactivated from the Port Management screen.

Protocol  Creates an ACE (Access Control Event) based on a specific protocol.

Select from List  Selects from a protocols list on which ACE can be based. The possible field values are:

•• Any  Matches the protocol to any protocol.

•• EIGRP  Indicates that the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is used to classify network flows.

•• ICMP  Indicates that the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to classify network flows.

•• IGMP  Indicates that the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to classify network flows.

•• TCP  Indicates that the Transmission Control Protocol is used to classify network flows.

•• OSPF  Matches the packet to the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol.

•• UDP  Indicates that the User Datagram Protocol is used to classify network flows.

Protocol ID To Match  Adds user-defined protocols to which packets are matched to the ACE. Each protocol has a specific protocol number which is unique. The possible field range is 0-255.

TCP Flags  Filters packets by TCP flag. Filtered packets are either forwarded or dropped. Filtering packets by TCP flags increases packet control, which increases network security. The values that can be assigned are:

•• Set  Enables filtering packets by selected flags.

•• Unset  Disables filtering packets by selected flags.

•• Don’t care  Indicates that selected packets do not influence the packet filtering process.

The TCP Flags that can be selected are: Urg  Indicates the packet is urgent.

Ack  Indicates the packet is acknowledged. Psh  Indicates the packet is pushed.

Rst  Indicates the connection is dropped. Syn  Indicates request to start a session. Fin  Indicates request to close a session.

Advanced Configuration

Source Port  Defines the TCP/UDP source port to which the ACE is matched. This field is active only if 800/6-TCP or 800/17-UDP are selected in the Select from List drop-down menu. The possible field range is 0 - 65535.

Destination Port  Defines the TCP/UDP destination port. This field is active only if 800/6-TCP or 800/17-UDP are selected in the Select from List drop-down menu. The possible field range is 0 - 65535.

Source IP Address  Matches the source port IP address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.

Wildcard Mask  Defines the source IP address wildcard mask. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that all the bits are important. For example, if the source IP address 149.36.184.198 and the wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00, the first eight bits of the IP address are ignored, while the last eight bits are used.

Dest. IP Address  Matches the destination port IP address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.

Wildcard Mask  Defines the destination IP address wildcard mask.

Match DSCP  Matches the packet DSCP value to the ACE. Either the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-63.

Match IP Precedence  Matches the packet IP Precedence value to the ACE. Either the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-7.

The Add to List button adds the configured IP Based ACLs to the IP Based ACL Table at the bottom of the screen.
