IPSEC Solution Function Enhancement Request

I'm CTS for KFCC and submit this request on behalf of KFCC.

KFCC requested to add a funcing for ports range selection in IPSEC solution.
Other OS such as Linux, Windows, Solaris support ports range selection but IBM AIX only support individual port selection.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of PMR # : 61272,766,766

To WWNETA
Can we add a filter rule of ipsec with port range?
Action Plan>
Escalate it to WWNETA for further investigation.
…….
Over to Roger.

Hi,
In Ipsec filter rules the port operations cannot be combined used (such as : &&, ||).
If the customer wants to specify a [interval] scope, I think Ipsec rules do not support such range.
Regards, Wei Hua<wwneta,165>
…….
Action Taken>
We had received the answer that Ipsec filter doesn't support a port range.
To account team,
AIX doesn't support a port range of Ipsec rules. So, customer wants to use it. Please guide a customer try to do DCR at a below site.

    Please feel free to re-open if the RFE is still needed.

    To permit the traffic from port # 2000 to port # 2003 and to deny any traffic less than port #2000 and greater than port #2003, the following can be done:
    Create the filters:
    #genfilt -v 4 -a D -s 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -M 0.0.0.0 -c any -O lt -P 2000 -w I
    #genfilt -v 4 -a D -s 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -M 0.0.0.0 -c any -O gt -P 2003 -w I
    #genfilt -v 4 -a P -s 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -M 0.0.0.0 -c any -O ge -P 2000 -w I
    #genfilt -v 4 -a P -s 0.0.0.0 -m 0.0.0.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -M 0.0.0.0 -c any -O le -P 2003 -w I

    Would this serve the purpose of specifying a port range?
    Please let us know. Thanks,
