Policy - Access Control; Router And Load Balancer Configuration File - Avaya P333R-LB User Manual

Chapter 1 Overview
Policy – Access Control
The P333R-LB supports Access Control policy. The P333R-LB uses policy lists
containing both Access Control rules and QoS rules. The policy lists are ordered by
rule indexing. Access Control rules define how the P333R-LB should handle routed
packets. There are three possible ways to handle such packets:
• Forward the packet (Permit operation)
• Discard the packet (Deny operation)
• Discard the packet and notify the management station (Deny and Notify)
The P333R-LB can enforce Access Control policy on each routed packet, according
to the following criteria:
• Matching the packet's source or destination IP address to the configured Access
Control policy.
• Determine if the packet source or destination TCP/UDP port number falls
within a pre-defined range.
• Using the ACK bit of the TCP header.
The P333R-LB access control rules are set-up using the Command Line Interface and
Avaya's CajunRules central policy management application.
For full information, see Policy – Access Control on page 265.

Router and Load Balancer Configuration File

The Configuration File feature allows the user to upload the P333R-LB routing and
load balancing configuration parameters and upload them to a file on the station.
The routing and load balancing configuration commands in the file are in CLI
format. The user can edit the file (if required) and re-configure the P333R-LB by
downloading the configuration file. Although the files can be edited, it is
recommended to keep changes to the files to a minimum. The recommended
configuration method is using CajunView P330 Routing Manager and/or the CLI.
Changes to the configuration file should be limited to those required to customize a
configuration file from one router to suit another.
