DESCRIPTION
You can use the management-ip-rules component to configure network
firewall rules that are applied to all management interface traffic.
The network software compares IP packets to the criteria specified in
these rules. If a packet matches the criteria then the system takes the
action specified by the rule. If a packet does not match a rule then
the software compares the packet against the next rule. If a packet
does not match any rule the packet is accepted.
For configuration sync management-ip-rules are synced to the
devicegroup that has a type field of sync-failover. See "cm config-
sync".
MATCHING AN IP PACKET
You can use this TMSH component to match against any or all of the
following properties of an IP packet:
source address
source port
the packet's source VLAN
destination address
destination port
the higher-level protocol in the packet's payload
If you match against more than one of these items, a packet must pass
all of your tests to successfully match. For example, if you match
against a source subnet and several destination ports, a packet must
originate from the given subnet and must also have one of the specified
destination ports.
RULE ORDER
Rules are evaluated in the order that you specify. You can use the list
management-ip-rules command to see the current rule order. As you add
or modify rules in this component, you can use the place-before rule-
name or place-after rule-name option to choose the rule's place in the
sequence.
Rule order can determine whether or not a packet is dropped. Consider
the following rules:
rule_a, matches source addresses against 172.16.0.0 and ACCEPTS all
packets that match.
rule_d, matches source addresses against 172.16.39.0 and DROPS all
packets that match.
Also consider a packet from a host at 172.16.39.55. If rule_a appears
before rule_d in the rule list, the packet's source address matches
rule_a first and the software accepts it. The software never reaches
rule_d for comparison. If rule_d appears first instead, the packet's
source address now matches rule_d; in this case, the software drops the
packet.
EXAMPLES
modify management-ip-rules rules add { reject-internal-net { source {
addresses replace-all-with { 172.27.0.0/16 } } action reject place-
before first } }
Creates a rule entry at the beginning of the list that rejects traffic
from the 172.27.0.0 network.
modify management-ip-rules rules add { reject-insecure-ports { rule-
list block_bad_mgmt place-before first } }
Adds a sub rule list to the management-IP firewall. Use the "security
firewall rule-list" component to create a custom rule list.
list management-ip-rules
security firewall management-ip-rules {
rules {
reject-insecure-ports {
rule-list block_bad_mgmt
}
reject-internal-net {
action reject
source {
addresses {
172.27.0.0/16 { }
}
}
}
}
}
Displays the current list of management-firewall rules.
modify management-ip-rules rules delete { reject-internal-net }
Removes the reject-internal-net rule from the management-IP firewall.
OPTIONS
description
Your description for the management-firewall rules.
rules
Adds, deletes, or replaces a firewall rule.
add Creates a new rule, which you specify next with a unique
string in curly braces ({}). Use the place-before or place-
after option inside the curly braces to determine the order
of the rule. If this is the first rule, use the replace-all-
with option instead of add.
delete
Deletes the rule that you specify next, in curly braces ({}).
modify
Modifies the existing rule that you specify next, in curly
braces ({}). After the rule name, enter the new configuration
settings for the rule inside a nested set of curly braces.
replace-all-with
Replaces the current set of global rules with the rule(s)
that you specify next, in curly braces ({}). Use this option
for the first management rule.
none Empties the list of management-firewall rules. This
implicitly accepts all packets on the management interface.
Enter the name of a rule to be added or modified, then enter an
open curly brace ({), one or more of the following options, and a
closed curly brace (}).
action
Specifies the action that the system takes when a packet
matches the rule.
accept
Specifies that a matching packet should be accepted. The
security software stops comparing a matching packet to
any other management-firewall rules.
accept-decisively
This option is functionally the same as accept.
drop Specifies that a matching packet should be silently
dropped. The security software sends nothing back to the
packet source, and it does not compare the packet to any
other management-firewall rules.
reject
Specifies that a matching packet should be dropped. For
TCP-based protocols, the security software sends a TCP
reset (with the RST flag raised) back to the source.
For other protocols, reject is equivalent to drop.
app-service
Associates the management-rule list with a particular
Application Service. An Application Service is a major
component of an iApp, an advanced configuration tool for
creating and maintaining similar applications on multiple
servers. The asm module has components for working with
iApps.
description
Your description for the current rule.
destination
Matches against each packet's destination IP and/or
destination port. The next options choose the matching
criteria.
address-lists
Specifies a list of IP-address lists (see "security
firewall address-list") to compare against the packet's
destination address.
This list uses the same add, delete, none, and replace-
all-with options described above for rules, as well as a
default option.
addresses
Specifies a list of IP addresses and/or subnets to
compare against the packet's destination address.
The format for an IPv4 address is a.b.c.d[/prefix]. The
general format for an IPv6 address is
a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h[/prefix]; you can shorten this by
eliminating leading zeros from each field (for example,
you can shorten
"2001:0db7:3f4a:09dd:ca90:ff00:0042:8329" to
"2001:db7:3f4a:9dd:ca90:ff00:42:8329"), and/or by
removing the longest contiguous field of zeros (for
example, you can shorten "2001:0:0:0:c34a:0:23ff:678" to
"2001::c34a:0:23ff:678"). TMSH accepts any valid text
representation of IPv6 addresses, as defined in RFC 2373
(see ).
To edit this list, use the same add, delete, modify,
none, and replace-all-with options described above for
rules.
port-lists
Specifies a collection of port lists (see "security
firewall port-list") to compare against the packet's
destination port. If you use this option to specify a
port list, a packet only matches if it's destination
port matches a port on these lists.
This list uses the same add, delete, none, and replace-
all-with options described above for rules, as well as a
default option.
ports
Specifies a list of ports and port ranges to compare
against the packet's destination port.
To edit this list, use the same add, delete, modify,
none, and replace-all-with options described above for
rules.
icmp Specifies a list of ICMP types and codes to compare against
the packet. You must set the ip-protocol option to "icmp" for
this option to function. If you use this option, the current
rule only matches ICMP packets that have the ICMP properties
you specify here. You can add, delete, or modify (that is,
change the description of) any entry in the list, or replace-
all-with a new set of entries that you specify between curly
braces ({}).
Use the standard integer identifiers to specify an ICMP type.
For example: 3 is destination unreachable and 3:1 is
destination unreachable with a code of host unreachable. The
official list of ICMP types and codes is here:
.
ip-protocol
Specifies the IP protocol to compare against the packet. This
could be a layer-3 protocol (such as ipv4 or ipv6), or a
higher-level protocol like ospf, rdp, or icmp. If you specify
this option, a packet only matches if it uses the chosen
protocol. Press the key for a full list of valid
protocols.
log Specifies whether the security software should write a log
entry for all packets that match this rule. You must also
enable network filter logging in the "security log profile"
component for this option to have any effect. Note that the
security software always increments the statistics counter
when a packet matches a rule, no matter how you set this
option.
place-after [first | last | rule-name]
Specifies that a new rule should be placed after the first
rule, the last rule, or the rule-name you specify. If you are
adding individual rules (as opposed to specifying replace-
all-with), then you must use place-before or place-after to
specify the rule's position in the list.
place-before [first | last | rule-name]
Specifies that a new rule should be placed before the first
rule, the last rule, or the rule-name you specify. If you are
adding individual rules (as opposed to specifying replace-
all-with), then you must use place-before or place-after to
specify the rule's position in the list.
rule-list
Specifies a full rule list instead of a customized rule that
you might define with the other options. See "security
firewall rule-list". If you use this option, then only the
schedule and status options are valid; the tmsh software
rejects any other options that you attempt to use with rule-
list.
schedule
Specifies a schedule for the rule. See "security firewall
schedule". If you omit this option, the rule or rule list is
enabled all the time.
If the rule refers to a rule-list, the rule-list is enabled
according to the schedule. When the rule list is enabled, the
security software then honors the schedules defined within
the rule-list.
source
Matches against each packet's source IP, source port, and/or
source VLAN. The next options choose the matching criteria.
address-lists
Specifies a list of address lists (see "security
firewall address-list") to compare against the packet's
source address.
This list uses the same add, delete, none, and replace-
all-with options described above for rules, as well as a
default option.
addresses
Specifies a list of IP addresses and networks to compare
against the packet's source address.
The format for an IPv4 address is a.b.c.d. The general
format for an IPv6 address is a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h.
To edit this list, use the same add, delete, modify,
none, and replace-all-with options described above for
rules.
port-lists
Specifies a collection of port lists (see "security
firewall port-list") to compare against the packet's
source port. If you use this option to specify a port
list, a packet only matches if its source port matches a
port on these lists.
This list uses the same add, delete, none, and replace-
all-with options described above for rules, as well as a
default option.
ports
Specifies a list of ports and port ranges to compare
against the packet's source port.
To edit this list, use the same add, delete, modify,
none, and replace-all-with options described above for
rules.
vlans
Specifies a list of VLANs, VLAN groups, and tunnels to
compare against the packet.
This list uses the same add, delete, none, and replace-
all-with options described above for rules, as well as a
default option.
status
Specifies whether the rule is enabled, disabled or scheduled.
A rule that is enabled is always checked. A rule that is
disabled is never checked. A rule that is scheduled is
checked according to the corresponding schedule
configuration. A rule that is scheduled must have an
associated schedule configuration.
