Configuring packet filter

About packet filtering with ACLs

This section describes procedures for using an ACL to filtering packets. For example, you can apply an ACL to an interface to filter incoming or outgoing packets.

Packet filter tasks at a glance

To configure packet filtering, perform the following tasks:

·     Configure packet filtering with ACLs.

Choose one of the following tasks:

¡     Applying an ACL to an interface for packet filtering

·     (Optional.) Configuring logging and SNMP notifications for packet filtering

·     (Optional.) Setting the packet filtering default action

Applying an ACL to an interface for packet filtering

Restrictions and guidelines

You can apply a maximum of 32 ACLs to the same direction of an interface.

If you do not specify the ipv6 keyword for a basic or advanced ACL, you specify an IPv4 ACL.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Apply an ACL to the interface to filter packets.

packet-filter [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } { inbound | outbound }

By default, an interface does not filter packets.

Configuring logging and SNMP notifications for packet filtering

About this task

You can configure the ACL module to generate log entries or SNMP notifications for packet filtering. The log entry or notification records the number of matching packets and the matched ACL rules. When the first packet of a flow matches an ACL rule, the output interval starts, and the device immediately outputs a log entry or notification for this packet. When the output interval ends, the device outputs a log entry or notification for subsequent matching packets of the flow.

The log entries are sent to the information center. For more information about the information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

The SNMP notifications are sent to SNMP. For more information about SNMP, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set the interval for outputting packet filtering logs or notifications.

acl { logging | trap } interval interval

The default setting is 0 minutes. By default, the device does not generate log entries or SNMP notifications for packet filtering.

Setting the packet filtering default action

About this task

The packet filtering default action does not take effect on zone pair packet filtering. The default action for zone pair packet filtering is always deny.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set the packet filtering default action to deny.

packet-filter default deny

By default, the packet filter permits packets that do not match any ACL rule to pass.

Verifying and maintaining packet filter

Verifying the packet filter running status

Perform display tasks in any view.

·     Display ACL application information for packet filtering.

display packet-filter {  interface [ interface-type interface-number ] } [ inbound | outbound ] [ slot slot-number ]

·     Display detailed ACL packet filtering information.

display packet-filter verbose interface interface-type interface-number  { inbound | outbound } [ [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } ] [ slot slot-number ]

Displaying packet filter statistics

Perform display tasks in any view.

·     Display match statistics for packet filtering ACLs.

display packet-filter statistics interface interface-type interface-number  { inbound | outbound } [ default | [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } ] [ brief ]

·     Display the accumulated statistics for packet filtering ACLs.

display packet-filter statistics sum { inbound | outbound } [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } [ brief ]

Clearing packet filter statistics

To clear match statistics for packet filtering ACLs, execute the following command in user view:

reset packet-filter statistics interface [ interface-type interface-number ] { inbound | outbound } [ default | [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } ]

Packet filter configuration examples

Example: Configuring interface-based packet filter

Network configuration

A company interconnects its departments through the device. Configure a packet filter to:

·     Permit access from the President's office at any time to the financial database server.

·     Permit access from the Finance department to the database server only during working hours (from 8:00 to 18:00) on working days.

·     Deny access from any other department to the database server.

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] rule permit ip source 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 destination 192.168.0.100 0 time-range work

# Configure a rule to deny access to the financial database server.

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] rule deny ip source any destination 192.168.0.100 0

[Device-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] quit

# Apply IPv4 advanced ACL 3000 to filter outgoing packets on interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

[Device] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Device-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] packet-filter 3000 outbound

[Device-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

Verifying the configuration

# Verify that a PC in the Finance department can ping the database server during working hours. (All PCs in this example use Windows XP).

C:\> ping 192.168.0.100

# Display configuration and match statistics for IPv4 advanced ACL 3000 on the device during working hours.

[Device] display acl 3000

Advanced IPv4 ACL 3000, 3 rules,

ACL's step is 5

 rule 0 permit ip source 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 destination 192.168.0.100 0

 rule 5 permit ip source 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 destination 192.168.0.100 0 time-range work (Active)

 rule 10 deny ip destination 192.168.0.100 0

The output shows that rule 5 is active. Rule 5 and rule 10 have been matched four times as the result of the ping operations.
