Configuring security policies

About security policies

A security policy defines a set of rules for forwarding control and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). It matches packets against the rules and takes the action stated in the rules on the matched packets.

Benefits

Security policies can provide the same functions as packet filtering and object policies, and support precise network management based on application, protocol, and user. By partnering with DPI, it can also provide security protection services such as antivirus and intrusion protection.

For more information about packet filtering, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide. For more information about object policies, see "Configuring object policies."

Security policy rules

A security policy contains one or multiple rules. Each security policy rule is a permit or deny, or DPI statement for identifying traffic based on criteria.

Rule numbering

Each rule is uniquely identified by a name and an ID. When you create a rule, the rule name must be manually configured, and the rule ID can be manually configured or automatically assigned by the system.

Rule match criteria

The rule match criteria include the following types: source security zone, destination security zone, source IP address and source MAC address, destination IP address, user and user group, application and application group, VPN instance, and service.

You can specify multiple criteria for each type, except VPN instance. For example, you can configure multiple source security zones for a rule.

Rule and session management

When a security policy is configured, the device generates session entries for permitted packets to record packet information.

You can set session aging times for protocol states, application layer protocols, or rules. The aging time configured for a rule takes precedence over the aging time configured for a protocol state or an application layer protocol. For more information about session management, see "Managing sessions."

Security policy mechanism

As shown in Figure 1, a security policy operates as follows:

1.     After receiving a packet, the device matches the packet against the configured security policy rules.

A security policy rule includes various match criterion types. A packet is considered matched if it matches all the criterion types in the rule. Each criterion type includes one or more criteria, and a packet matches a criterion type if it matches any criterion of the type. Source MAC address criteria and source IP address criteria belong to the same criterion type.

¡     If no match is found, the device discards the packet.

¡     If a match is found and the rule action is drop, the device discards the packet.

¡     If a match is found and the rule action is pass, the device goes to the next step.

2.     If a DPI application profile is configured for the matched rule, the device uses the specified profile to perform DPI on the packet. If no DPI application profile is specified, the device allows the packet to pass.

Figure 1 Security policy mechanism

Rule matching acceleration

This feature accelerates security policy rule matching to enhance connection establishment and packet forwarding performance, especially for a device using multiple rules to match packets from multiple users.

Matching of security policy rules switched from object policies is accelerated by default. You need to activate rule matching acceleration if a rule is modified or newly added, or if the acceleration feature is deactivated for certain reasons. The following methods are available for activating rule matching acceleration:

·     Manual activation—Activates rule matching acceleration immediately after the accelerate enhanced enable command is executed.

·     Automatic activation—Enables the device to detect security policy changes at specific intervals and activate rule matching acceleration automatically if any change has been made. If there are 100 or less security policies, the interval is 2 seconds. If there are over 100 security policies, the interval is 20 seconds.

Security policy rule grouping

Security policy rule grouping allows users to enable, disable, delete, and move security policy rules in batches. A security policy rule in a security policy rule group takes effect only when both the rule and the group are enabled.

Restrictions and guidelines: Security policy configuration

When you configure security policies, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     If the security policy feature is enabled, object policy settings lose effect the first time you enter security policy view. Make sure object policy settings have been switched to security policy settings before you enter security policy view.

·     Packet filtering, if configured, is performed only on packets that do not match any security policy rule. As a best practice, make sure security policies have stricter filtering criteria than packet filtering, so the unmatched packets can still be filtered by packet filtering.

·     Follow the depth-first order during rule creation to create rules with stricter match criteria first because the system matches packets against rules in the order the rules were created.

Configuration procedure diagram

Figure 2 shows how to configure a security policy.

Switching object policies to security policies

About switching object policies to security policies

After upgrading a device from a security policy-incapable version to a version that supports security policies, you can perform this task to fast switch object policies to security policies. Object policy settings lose effect after the switching.

The device performs object policy switching as follows:

1.     Saves the specified configuration file as a new file with the specified name.

2.     Switches object policy rules in the new file in the order that the rules are displayed on the device (the rule match order).

3.     Deletes object policy settings and their relations with security zone pairs in the new file.

4.     Sets the new file as the main next-startup configuration file.

The security policy settings take effect after the device reboots.

Restrictions and guidelines for switching object policies to security policies

When you switch object policies to security policies, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Enable the security policy feature before you execute the manual switching command.

·     Security policy rules switched from object policy rules that are not applied to any security zone pairs are in inactive state and do not take effect.

·     Do not configure any security policy settings before switching.

·     To downgrade the software to a version that does not support security policies, first set the configuration file used before the switching as the main next-startup configuration file. In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) is not supported because the device must be restarted after downgrading.

·     For a device that supports auto switching, ISSU cannot be used to upgrade the software to a version that supports security policies.

·     IP address object groups that use a user or user group do not support rule matching acceleration and do not take effect after the switching.

·     Make sure the working directory is on a fixed storage medium in the device, for example, the flash memory, instead of a removable storage medium, such as a hard disk.

Prerequisites for switching object policies to security policies

Before configuring a security policy, complete the following tasks:

·     Change the object policy rule match order to make sure the rules are created in the depth-first order.

·     Make sure no object policy is applied to zone pairs that use security zone any as the source or destination security zone.

·     Make sure rule matching acceleration is enabled for all object policies.

·     Make sure configuration file encryption is disabled.

·     Before you perform manual switching, make sure the current software version supports security policies. For more information about software upgrading, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Manually switching object policies to security policies

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Switch object policy settings in the specified configuration file to security policy settings.

security-policy switch-from object-policy object-filename security-filename

Automatically switching object policies to security policies

Restrictions and guidelines

In auto switching, the device appends _secp to the original configuration file's name, and uses the string as the name of the new file. For example, if the original configuration file is named startup.cfg, the new configuration file will be named startup_secp.cfg.

Procedure

To perform auto switching, upgrade the device software to a version that supports security policies. The device will restart automatically after the switching process completes. For more information about software upgrade, see software upgrade configuration in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Enabling the security policy feature

Restrictions and guidelines

Security policy settings take effect only when the security policy feature is enabled.

After the device starts up, the device automatically executes the security-policy disable command to disable the security policy feature if object policy settings exist in the configuration file. If object policy settings do not exist in the configuration file, the device enables the security policy feature.

Security policies and object policies cannot take effect at the same time on a device. If security policy is enabled, object policies lose effect at the first time security policy view is entered. If you are to manually configure security policies item by item based on object policy settings, keep the security policy feature disabled until you finish the configuration.

After a configuration rollback from security policies to object policies, disable the security feature for the object policies to take effect.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enable the security policy feature.

undo security-policy disable

By default, the security policy feature is enabled.

Example: Switching object policies to security policies

Network configuration

Object policies are already configured to achieve the following goals:

·     The president office can access the financial database server through HTTP at any time.

·     The financial office can access the financial database server through HTTP during working hours.

·     The marketing office cannot access the financial database server through HTTP at any time.

The device software needs to be upgraded to a version that supports security policy. Switch object policy settings to security policy settings after software upgrade to achieve the same goals and ensure correct network operation.
