DESCRIPTION
You can use the network-whitelist component to configure two types of DoS network whitelists: 1) standard
whitelist, up to eight entries; 2) extended whitelist, up to the the number of entries specified by DB
variable dos.maxewlsize (range from 0 to 1024). Whitelists configured this way can be applied to all traffic
except those from the management interface. Along with that you can use address-list to configure the srcIP
Global whitelist. To this address-list you need to attach the address list objects. This address-list can be a
nested list of fully qualified address. Subnets and IP address ranges and geo-locations are not allowed. The
HSB hardware compares all incoming traffic to the network-whitelist entries. If a match is found then it does
not do DoS vector checks for those packets. If a match is not found then DoS vector checks are done on those
packets. The network software does its regular DoS vector checks on the incoming packets as usual. If a DoS
vector is hit then it compares that packet with the DoS network-whitelist entries. If the packet matches an
entry, then the system does not increment the DoS vector that matched. If the packets does not match a DoS
network-whitelist entry then the matched DoS vector is incremented and appropriate action is taken.
If an entry specifies more than one of the above items, a packet must pass all of the items to successfully
match. For example, if an entry specifies a source subnet and a destination port, a packet must originate from
the given subnet and must also have the specified destination port.
Either destination ip_address/prefixlen or source ip_address/prefixlen can be specified in a network-whitelist
entry. An ip_address/prefixlen for both source and destination cannot be specified for an entry.
EXAMPLES
modify network-whitelist dos-network-whitelist description "bad interfaces" entries add { re_telnet { ip-
protocol tcp destination { port telnet } } }
Creates a new entry called re_telnet. It matches any TCP packet whose destination port is telnet.
modify network-whitelist dos-network-whitelist entries add { internal-net { source { address 172.27.0.0/16 } }
}
Creates an entry that matches traffic from the 172.27.0.0 network.

}
}
internal-net {
source {
address 172.27.0.0/16
}
}
}
}
Displays the current list of DoS whitelist entries.
modify network-whitelist dos-network-whitelist entries delete { internal-net }

OPTIONS
address-list
Specifies the object in security firewall address-list as the srcIP Global whitelist.
description
Your description for the DoS network-whitelist entries.
entries
Adds, deletes, or replaces a standard network-whitelist entry, by specifying an entry name. If an entry
by the specified name does not exist, it will be created.
add Creates a new entry, which you specify next with a unique string in curly braces ({}).
delete
Deletes the entry that you specify next, in curly braces ({}). You can use delete {all} to empty the
list of network-whitelist entries, which has the same effect as using none (see below).
modify
Modifies the existing entry that you specify next, in curly braces ({}). After the entry name,
enter the new configuration settings for the entry inside a nested set of curly braces.
replace-all-with
Replaces the current set of network-whitelist entries with the entry(s) that you specify next, in
curly braces ({}).
none Empties the list of network-whitelist entries.
Enter the name of a entry to be added or modified, then enter an open curly brace ({), one or more of the
following options, and a closed curly brace (}).
description
Your description for the current entry.
destination
Matches against each packet's destination IP and/or destination port.
address
Specifies an IP address and network 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
).
port Specifies a port to compare against the packet's destination port.
ip-protocol
Specifies the IP protocol to compare against the packet. This could be any, icmp, igmp, tcp or udp.
If you specify this option, a packet only matches if it uses the chosen protocol.
match-ip-version
Specifies whether any/any6 in source/destination address is to match 'any IPv4', 'any IPv6', or 'any
IPv4 and any IPv6' addresses. If match-ip-version is true, both source and destination addresses
must have the same IP address family. If match-ip-version is false and both source and destination
addresses are any or any6, both addresses represent 'any IPv4 and IPv6 addresses'. If match-ip-
version is false and only one address is set to any or any6, the address is interpreted based on the
other IP address' family (IPv4 or IPv6). The default is false.
source
Matches against each packet's source IP, and/or source VLANs.
address
Specifies an IP address and network 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.
vlans
Specifies either a vlan name or a range of vlanids to compare against the packet. The range is
specified as vlanid/mask. For example if you specify "3200/8" then the vlanid range will be
3200-3327.
extended-entries
Adds, deletes, or replaces an extended network-whitelist entry, by specifying an entry name. If an entry
by the specified name does not exist, it will be created.
add Creates a new entry, which you specify next with a unique string in curly braces ({}).
delete
Deletes the entry that you specify next, in curly braces ({}). You can use delete {all} to empty the
list of network-whitelist entries, which has the same effect as using none (see below).
modify
Modifies the existing entry that you specify next, in curly braces ({}). After the entry name,
enter the new configuration settings for the entry inside a nested set of curly braces.
replace-all-with
Replaces the current set of network-whitelist entries with the entry(s) that you specify next, in
curly braces ({}).
none Empties the list of network-whitelist extended-entries.
Enter the name of a entry to be added or modified, then enter an open curly brace ({), one or more of the
following options, and a closed curly brace (}).
description

destination
Matches against each packet's destination IP and/or destination port.
address
Specifies an IP address and network 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

specified as vlanid/mask. For example if you specify "3200/8" then the vlanid range will be
3200-3327.
EXAMPLES
modify security dos network-whitelist dos-network-whitelist address-list [name]
It adds list1 objects to the global address-list. For configuring the address list objects (list1) you can use
the following examples:
create security firewall address-list list1 addresses [add | delete] { 30.30.30.30 45:56:567:234:456::0 }
list security firewall address-list list1
security firewall address-list list1 {
addresses {
30.30.30.30 { }
45:56:567:234:456:: { }
} }
This is how you can list the address-list objects that you configured for global whitelists list security dos
network-whitelist address-list security dos network-whitelist dos-network-whitelist {
address-list list1 }
