SunScreen 3.1 Reference Manual

Common Objects

Common objects are the components or data objects that you use to make up policy rules. Before you write these rules, you add the common objects that you plan to use in the rules.

After the common objects have been added, they are stored in a database and can be used over again to create rule sets for additional policies.

Save Is Not Required With Certain Common Objects

The common objects:

that appear in the administration GUI are automatically saved when they are edited or new objects are added. You do not need to save these objects. Once these objects are added or edited, the change applies immediately and cannot be reversed. The Save button in the administration GUI is greyed out to show that it is inactive.


Note -

Although the changes made to these objects are saved immediately, they do not take effect until a policy is activated. The administration GUI edits authorized users, which are authuser objects; proxy users, which are proxyuser objects; and Jar signatures and Jar hashes.


Service

Use the service common object to identify network services that a Screen will use to filter packets. The service common object has two subtypes, single service and service group.


Note -

Adding a new service with new values makes troubleshooting easier than editing the default values of a service.


Single Service

You add new network services and edit the filtering activities applied when a service is used in a rule. You add a new single service using the Service dialog box that appears when you select New Single Service from the Add New combo box in the Common Objects panel, shown in FIGURE 5-14.

Figure 5-14 Service Dialog Box for a New Single Service

Graphic

You control the filtering activities by specifying what packet-filtering engine you want to use and the various discriminators and parameters applicable to that filtering engine.

FIGURE 5-15 shows the filter table of the Service dialog box for a new single service.

Interface 

Specifies the interface. 

Type 

Specifies the type of interface. The options are: 

  • ROUTING

  • ADMIN

  • DISABLED

  • HA

  • STEALTH

Screen 

Specifies the Screen on which this interface physically resides. If you are using centralized management, you must complete this field. 

Address Group 

Specifies the source IP addresses for this interface.  

Logging 

Identifies the disposition of a packet, when a packet received on the interface does not match any rule. The options are: 

  • NONE - Do not log packets.

  • SUMMARY - Record the first 40 bytes of the packet in the log.

  • DETAIL - Record the complete packet in the log.

If a packet matches a rule, it is disposed of according to the action for the rule it matches. 

SNMP Alerts 

Specifies whether the Screen should issue an SNMP alert message when a packet received on an interface does not match a rule. The options are: 

  • SNMP_NONE - Do not send an SNMP alert message. (This is the default.)

  • SNMP - Send an SNMP alert message when a packet received on this interface is rejected.

If a packet matches a rule, it is disposed of according to the action for the rule it matches. 

ICMP Action 

Identifies the ICMP rejection message that is issued if a packet received on the interface is rejected. In most cases, the Screen rejects packets by sending an ICMP Destination Unreachable packet with the reject code set as specified in the ICMP action on the interface. 

The one exception is the PORT_UNREACHABLE ICMP action. In this case, the Screen rejects TCP packets by sending a TCP RESET packet and other packets by sending an ICMP Destination Unreachable (Port Unreachable) message. 

The options for the actions are: 

  • NONE

  • NET_UNREACHABLE

  • HOST_UNREACHABLE

  • PORT_UNREACHABLE

  • NET_FORBIDDEN

  • HOST_FORBBIDEN.

If a packet matches a rule, it is disposed of according to the action for the rule it matches. 

Comment

Router IP Address 

(Optional) Specifies the router's IP address when the type of interface is STEALTH. This allows packets that have had their destination address changed, for example NAT or tunnelling, to be sent to a router. You can specify as many as five router IP addresses. If you have stealth interfaces, define the router that does the routing for the subnet for at least one of them.
