help

access-group

To assign an access list to an interface on your GSS, use the access-group global configuration command. To disassociate access lists from an interface, use the no form of this command.

access-group name interface {eth0 | eth1}

no access-group name interface {eth0 | eth1}

Syntax Description

name

Name of the access list.

interface

Specifies an interface on the GSS to which the access list will be assigned.

eth0

Identifies the first Ethernet interface on the GSS device.

eth1

Identifies the second Ethernet interface on the GSS device.


Defaults

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

To assign an access list to a GSS interface, use the access-group command. An access list is a set of rules used to filter traffic to the GSS. If no access list is assigned to an interface, that interface will permit all packets to pass to the GSS.

Only one access list can be assigned to an interface at a time.

Examples

Host(config)# access-group icmp-rule eth0

Related Commands

access-list

interface

access-list

To configure access lists on the GSS that allow you to permit or deny packet access based on criteria that you establish such as protocol type, source address, or destination port, use the access-list global configuration command. To modify or delete access lists from your GSS, use the no form of this command.

access-list name {permit | deny} protocol [source-address source-netmask | host source-address | any] operator port [port] [destination-port operator port [port]]

no access-list name {permit | deny} protocol [source-address source-netmask | host source-address | any] operator port [port] [destination-port operator port [port]]

Syntax Description

name

Alphanumeric name used to identify the access list that you are creating.

permit

When attached to an access condition, allows a connection when a packet matches the condition. All provisions of the condition must be met to make a match.

deny

When attached to an access condition, prevents a connection when a packet matches the condition. All provisions of the condition must be met to make a match.

protocol

Internet protocol by which the packet is being sent. Recognized values are:

tcp—Transmission Control Protocol

udp—User Datagram Protocol

icmp—Internet Control Message Protocol

source-address

Network IP address from which the packet originated. The software uses the source-address and source-netmask arguments to match the incoming packet to a source network.

source-netmask

Netmask for the network from which the packet originated. The software uses the source-address and source-netmask arguments to match the incoming packet to a source network.

host

Host machine that is the source of the packet.

source-address

IP address of the device that is the source of the packet.

any

Wildcard value for the packet source. With any used in place of either the source-address, source-netmask, or host source-address values, packets from all incoming sources will match.

operator

Compares arbitrary bytes within the packet. Can be one of the following values:

eq—Equal

neq—Not equal

range—Range

port

Source or destination port of the packet.

destination-port

Compares the destination port of the packet with the access condition.


Defaults

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

To accept or deny packets arriving at the GSS based on criteria such as the transfer protocol used and the packet source address, use the access-list command. An access list is a set of rules used to filter traffic to the GSS device. Rules can be used to either permit or deny packets and are associated with a particular interface using the access-group command. Each access list consists of one or more conditions. If a packet does not match any of the access list rules for an interface, it is automatically dropped.

Examples

Host(config)# access-list rule1 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.240 type redirect
Host(config)# access-list rule2 permit udp any destination-port eq 80
Host(config)# access-list rule3 permit tcp host 1.2.3.4
Host(config)# no access-list rule4 permit udp any destination-port eq 80

autosense

To enable autosense on an interface, use the autosense interface configuration command. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

autosense

no autosense

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Autosense is enabled by default.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

The autosense command is part of the suite of interface commands for the GSS and can only be used along with the interface command.

When enabled, the autosense feature allows the current GSS interface to select the proper mode (i.e. full-duplex, half-duplex) for communicating with other network devices.

Make sure that autosense has been disabled before configuring an Ethernet interface. When autosense is on, manual configurations are overridden.

You must reboot the GSS using the reload command following a change to the autosense setting on an interface.

Examples

Host(config)# interface eth0
Host(config-eth0)# autosense

Host(config-eth0)# no autosense

Related Commands

interface

bandwidth

To configure an interface bandwidth, use the bandwidth interface configuration command. To restore default values, use the no form of this command.

andwidth mbits

no bandwidth

Syntax Description

mbits

Bandwidth size in megabits per second (Mbps) (10 or 100).


Defaults

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the bandwidth on Fast Ethernet interfaces only. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces run at 1000 Mbps only and are not user-configurable.

Examples

Host(config)# interface eth0
Host(config-eth0)# bandwidth 10

Host(config-eth0)# no bandwidth

cd

To change directory, use the cd command in user or privileged EXEC mode.

cd directoryname

Syntax Description

directoryname

Name of the directory.


Defaults

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

User and privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to maneuver between directories and for file management. The directory name becomes the default prefix for all relative paths. Relative paths do not begin with a slash "/". Absolute paths begin with a slash "/".

Enter cd.. to move to the directory that is one level higher than the one you are in.

Examples

Relative path:

Host> cd local1

Absolute path:

Host> cd /local1

To define a default gateway, use the ip default-gateway global configuration command. To delete the IP default gateway, use the no form of this command. The GSS uses the default gateway to route IP packets when there is no specific route found to the destination.

To define a default domain name, use the ip domain-name global configuration command. To remove the IP default domain name, use the no form of this command. The GSS appends the configured domain name to any host name that does not contain a domain name. The appended name is resolved by the DNS server and then added to the host table. The GSS must have at least one domain name server specified for the host name resolution to work correctly.

To specify the address of one or more name servers to use for name and address resolution, use the ip name-server global configuration command. You can specify up to eight name servers for the GSS device. To disable IP name servers, use the no form of this command.

To configure static IP routing, use the ip route global configuration command. To disable an IP routing, use the no form of this command.

Use the ip route command to add a specific static route for a network host. Any IP packet designated for the specified host uses the configured route.

Examples

Host(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.7.18

Host(config)# no ip default-gateway

Host(config)# ip route 172.16.227.128 172.16.227.250

Command Modes

Privileged EXEC

Usage Guidelines

Use the show show statistics command to display content routing and load-balancing statistics for each component of your GSS global server load-balancing operation: boomerang (CRAs), DNS, and keepalives. The show statistics command is used to gauge DNS traffic flow to and from your GSS device, as well as report on the status of GSS devices across your network, and on the success of the device in matching incoming DNS requests to answers on the GSS network. For example, the show statistics command can be used to view the traffic handled by a particular DNS rule, which matches D-proxies to answers, or to analyze the traffic to a particular hosted domain being managed by the GSS.

When viewing DNS statistics, the verbose option allows you to view detailed statistics on each component of your DNS rules, for example, statistics for each answer that makes up an answer group, or each domain that makes up a domain group.
