Manually adding or specifying a filter rule for a range of ports

Procedure

  1. If needed, under the Filter Rules enter the IP address of the VIP in the Host field.
  2. For the type of filter rule, select Port Range, which sends the specified traffic to the selected instance.
  3. Use the same IP address for each port range filter rule.
    • If multiple IP addresses are needed and are grouped into a subnet, then a subnet mask can be applied to the base IP address. For example, an entry of 66.211.169.0/24 matches the first 24 bits of the IP address (the first three octets) and allows wildcard matching on any value in the fourth octet, which is specified as 0. Any port range that is specified for this virtual IP matches across all 254 IP addresses of the VIP.
  4. If VIP traffic is coming from a specific netmask, enter the mask value here.
  5. Enter the start port value in the Start Port field and the end port value in the End Port field.
  6. From the Instance drop-down, select the DNCA instance to which to apply the rule.
  7. Click Create Filter.
  8. The filter rule is added to the specified instance and is immediately applied to incoming traffic.
    Note: Only one port range filter rule should be added to each instance. Any additional port range rules for the instance are ignored.
    Note: After you save changes in the Interface tab, a manual restart of the DNCA is required. See DNCA web Console - Console Tab.
