Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

    ip local-port { =  port_number | range start_port_number to end_port_number }no ip local-port

no

If previously configured, deletes the ip local-port configuration from the current packet filter.
port_number

Specifies the port number of the transport protocol.

port_number must be the port number, and must be an integer from 1 through 65535.
range start_port_number to end_port_number

Specifies a range of port numbers.

start_port_number and end_port_number must be integers from 1 through 65535.

end_port_number must be greater than start_port_number.
Usage:

Use this command to configure the IP local port(s) for a packet filter.
Example:
The following command configures the IP local port as 456:

    ip local-port 456

ip protocol

This command allows you to configure the IP protocol(s) for the current packet filter.
Platform:

ASR 5000

ASR 5500
Product:

ACS
Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

In StarOS 9.0 and later releases:

    ip protocol = protocol_numberno ip protocol

In StarOS 8.2 and earlier releases:

    ip protocol { = protocol_number | range start_protocol_number to end_protocol_number }no ip protocol

no

If previously configured, deletes the IP protocol configuration from the current packet filter.
protocol_number

Specifies the transport protocol field in the IP header.

protocol_number must be the numerical value of the protocol, and must be an integer from 1 through 255.
range start_protocol_number to end_protocol_number

IMPORTANT:

In StarOS 9.0 and later releases this option is deprecated.

Specifies a range of protocol assignment numbers.

start_protocol_number and end_protocol_number must be integers from 1 through 255.

end_protocol_number must be greater than start_protocol_number.
Usage:

Use this command to configure the protocol(s) for a packet filter.
Example:
The following command configures the protocol assignment number 300:

    ip protocol = 300

ip remote-address

This command allows you to configure the IP remote address(es) for the current packet filter.
Platform:

ASR 5000

ASR 5500
Product:

ACS
Privilege:

Security Administrator, Administrator
Syntax

In StarOS 9.0 and later releases:

    ip remote-address = { ipv4/ipv6_address | ipv4/ipv6_address/mask }no ip remote-address

In StarOS 8.2 and earlier releases:

    ip remote-address { = { ipv4/ipv6_address | ipv4/ipv6_address/mask } | range { start_ipv4/ipv6_address | start_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask } to { end_ipv4/ipv6_address | end_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask } }no ip remote-address

no

If previously configured, deletes the IP remote-address configuration from the current packet filter.
ip remote-address = { ipv4/ipv6_address | ipv4/ipv6_address/mask }

ipv4/ipv6_address specifies the IPv4/IPv6 address.

ipv4/ipv6_address/mask specifies the IPv4/IPv6 address and the number of subnet bits representing the subnet mask in shorthand.
ip remote-address range { start_ipv4/ipv6_address | start_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask } to { end_ipv4/ipv6_address | end_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask }

IMPORTANT:

In StarOS 9.0 and later releases this keyword has been deprecated.

range specifies a range of IPv4/IPv6 addresses.

start_ipv4/ipv6_address and end_ipv4/ipv6_address specify, for the range, the starting and ending IPv4/IPv6 addresses.end_ipv4/ipv6_address must be greater than start_ipv4/ipv6_address.

start_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask and end_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask specify, for the range, the starting and ending IPv4/IPv6 address, and the number of subnet bits representing the subnet mask in shorthand. end_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask must be greater than start_ipv4/ipv6_address/mask.
Usage:

Use this command to configure the remote address(es) for a packet filter.
Example:
The following command configures the IP remote address as 10.2.3.4/24:

    ip remote-address = 10.2.3.4/24

no

If previously configured, deletes the priority configuration in the current packet filter.
priority

Specifies this packet filter’s priority

priority must be an integer from 0 through 255.
Usage:

Use this command to configure the packet filter’s priority. The priority must be configured for the packet filter to be used in a TFT. Packets are compared against packet filters in a prioritized fashion, with 0 being the highest priority. Without this setting, this filter will not be used.
Example:
The following command configures the packet filter’s priority as 3:

    priority 3
