in-path passthrough rule block
Configures an in-path load-balancing rule that blocks pass-through traffic.
Syntax
in-path passthrough rule block addr {<subnet> | all-ip | all-ipv4 | all-ipv6} port start <port> end <port> [description "<description>"] [rulenum <rule-number>] [vlan <vlan-id>]
Parameters
addr
Specifies the subnet IP address.
<subnet> - IPv4 or IPv6 address and mask:
For IPv4 addresses, use this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx
For IPv6 addresses, use this format: x:x:x::x/xxx
all-ip - Specifies all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
all-ipv4 - Specifies all IPv4 addresses.
all-ipv6 - Specifies all IPv6 addresses.
port start <port>
Specifies the starting port number of the port range.
end <port>
Specifies the ending port number of the port range.
description "<description>"
Specifies a description of the rule. Enclose the description in quotation marks.
rulenum <rule-number>
Specifies a rule number from 1 to N.
The system evaluates rules in numerical order starting with rule 1. If the conditions set in the rule match, then the rule is applied, and the system moves on to the next packet. If the conditions set in the rule do not match, the system consults the next rule. For example, if the conditions of rule 1 do not match, rule 2 is consulted. If rule 2 matches the conditions, it is applied, and no further rules are consulted.
vlan <vlan-id>
Specifies the VLAN ID.
all for all VLANs.
0 (zero) for untagged VLANs.
VLAN numbers from 1 to 4094 for tagged VLANs.
Usage
These rules block existing pass-through connections and prevent formation of new pass-through connections that match a specified rule. A maximum of 105 rules is allowed.
Use reset connection rules to reset an existing connection and force a new connection to be formed. The feature ensures that upon reboot the system resets certain long-lived pass-through connections so they can be optimized. A badly formed rule can block traffic.
You cannot use the GUI to configure the in-path load-balancing rules. You can only use the CLI to configure these rules.
Example
amnesiac (config) # in-path passthrough rule block addr 10.0.0.1 port start 6509 end 6509 vlan 12
