22.2. IPACL management

The IP Access Control List can store up to 256 filters definitions.

In this section will be described the commands for the IP Access Control List management.

These are the commands:

Every filter is identified by a priority index which is used to add, modify and delete IPACL entries.

Priority indexes, every time a filter is added or deleted, are automatically kept in sequential order.

Changes to IPACL are immediately active, so there's no need to restart Abilis CPX.

22.2.1. D IPACL (Display IP Access Control List)

It shows the current content of the IP access list. By omitting the priority, the command will show all the filters currently in the table.

Type d ipacl ?, to display the syntax of the command.

                      *** NO IP ACCESS LISTS DEFINED ***

Meaning of the parameters:

PR

The priority index sets the filter verifying order. The verifying procedure is executed on each datagram. It starts from the filter with priority 0 and continues until the suitable datagram is found or the list ends. If the IP datagram doesn't match any filter, it will be routed; if the IP services class functionality is activated, the Router will assign to the datagram the default priority set in the parameter COSDFT of the port IPRTR.

TYPE

This command sets whether the datagram, matching the filter, have to be routed (filter matched type PERMIT) or discarded (filter matched type DENY).

IPCOS

This parameter is displayed and configurable only for PERMIT filters type. It is considered only if the IP classes service are activated (COS:ENABLED) [DFT (default); HIGH; NORMAL; LOW].

SA

It sets the IP address which the datagrams source address has to match (or be contained in). It may be expressed as:

  • a single value, using the Dotted Decimal Notation (E.g.: 150.200.192.192).

  • an interval, by separating the two IP addresses with : (colon) character (E.g.: 192.168.0.0:192.168.0.100).

  • the name of an Elements List of type IP or IR or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any IP address”.

DA

It sets the IP address (IP interval of addresses) which the datagrams destination address has to match (or be contained in). It may be expressed as:

  • a single value, using the Dotted Decimal Notation (E.g.: 150.200.192.192).

  • an interval, by separating the two IP addresses with : (colon) character (E.g.: 192.168.0.0:192.168.0.100).

  • the name of an Elements List of type IP or IR or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any IP address”.

PROT

It sets the Internet protocol where the filter can be applied on. It may be expressed as:

  • mnemonic or numeric identifier [1 - 254] of an Internet Protocol (E.g.: tcp or 6).

  • the name of an Elements List of type IPT or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the tcpudp string, that stands for “tcp and/or udp protocols”.

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any Internet protocol”.

SPO

This parameter is used only for TCP and UDP protocols type. It sets the source port (interval of ports) that the datagrams source port has to match (or be contained in). It may be expressed as:

  • mnemonic or numeric identifier [1 - 65535] of a TCP/UDP port (E.g.: telnet or 23).

  • an interval, by separating the two TCP/UDP ports value with : (colon) character (E.g. 23:161 or telnet:snmp).

  • the name of an Elements List of type TUP or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any TCP/UDP port”.

DPO

This parameter is used only for TCP and UDP protocols type. It sets the destination port (interval of ports) that the datagrams destination port has to match (or be contained in). It may be expressed as:

  • mnemonic or numeric identifier [1 - 65535] of a TCP/UDP port (E.g.: telnet or 23).

  • an interval, by separating the two TCP/UDP ports value with : (colon) character (E.g. 23:161 or telnet:snmp).

  • the name of an Elements List of type TUP or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any TCP/UDP port”.

PO

This parameter is used only for TCP and UDP protocols type, in alternative to the parameters SPO and DPO. It sets the port value (or an interval of values) which the datagram source or destination port has to match (or be contained in).

  • mnemonic or numeric identifier [1 - 65535] of a TCP/UDP port (E.g.: telnet or 23).

  • an interval, by separating the two TCP/UDP ports value with : (colon) character (E.g. 23:161 or telnet:snmp).

  • the name of an Elements List of type TUP or RU or MR, written between primes (E.g.: 'My_List').

  • the * (asterisk) string, that stands for “any TCP/UDP port”.

TOS-IN

Input Type of Service octet or Differentiated Services Field. It may be expressed as:

  • * or *-* means “don't change”.

  • p-t, PRECEDENCE and TOS values, where p can be [0..7, *] and t can be [combination of N: None; D: Minimize Delay; T: Maximize Throughput; R: Maximize Reliability; C: Minimize Monetary Cost; *].

  • bbbbbb, DS value bit by bit, where b can be [0, 1, x] and x means “don't care”.

TOS-OUT

Output Type of Service octet or Differentiated Services Field. It may be expressed as:

  • * or *-* means “don't change”.

  • p-t, PRECEDENCE and TOS values, where p can be [0..7, *] and t can be [combination of N: None; D: Minimize Delay; T: Maximize Throughput; R: Maximize Reliability; C: Minimize Monetary Cost; *].

  • bbbbbb, DS value bit by bit, where b can be [0, 1, x] and x means “don't care”.

SIP

It sets the IP port from where the datagrams have to come in for matching the filter [* (any IP port): it allows to accept any IP resource; INT (internal IP resource): it allows to accept datagrams routed to any internal IP resource].

DIP

It sets the IP port where the datagrams have to be routed to for matching the filter [* (any IP port): it allows to accept any IP resource; INT (internal IP resource): it allows to accept datagrams routed to any internal IP resource].

CRDIR

It specifies whether the datagrams, matching the filter, have to be routed transparently (value NONE) or they have to be encrypted (value ENCRYPT) or decrypted (value DECRYPT).

CRKEY

It defines the cryptographic key to be used for datagrams matching the filter.

TI

Time interval; this parameters allows to specify a time band for which the IPACL can be used. The time band must be indicated in the following form:

ggg-hh1:mm1-hh2:mm2

where

  • ggg: is the indication of the day/s of the week in which the routing can be utilized and can assume the following values:

    • single day: [MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU].

    • a set of days: (es.: MO+TH or TU+TH+SU etc.).

    • an interval: (es.: MO-WE or TH-SU etc. or ALL).

  • hh1:mm1: is the indication of the beginning of the hourly interval of the validity of the routing.

  • hh2:mm2: is the indication of the end of the hourly interval of the validity of the routing.

Use * to make the time interval to be ignored.

22.2.2. A IPACL (Add IP Access Control List filter)

It adds a new filter to the IP access list, with priority “PR:xxx” and it sets the requested parameters to the specified values.

The syntax of the command is:

22.2.6. F IPACL (Find IP Access Control List filter)

It verifies how the IP datagram, specified in the command, will be managed depending on the current content of the IP access list.

The command has two different ways of searching in the IP access list:

  • Standard searching mode: the search is made by verifying the source and destination IP address fields, the Type Of Service and source IP port value; optionally it can make a verification on the destination IP port;

  • Extended searching mode: the search is made by verifying the source and destination IP address, the Type Of Service, Internet protocol, source and destination ports (required only for TCP and UDP protocols); optionally it can make a verification on the destination IP port;

These are the syntax of the commands:

  • f ipacl [STD] SrcAddr DstAddr TOS SrcIp [DstIp] [Time]

  • f ipacl EXT SrcAddr DstAddr TOS Protocol SrcPort DstPort SrcIp [DstIp] [Time]
