RF Domain Network Service Alias

A network service alias is a set of configurations that consist of protocol and port mappings. Both source and destination ports are configurable. For each protocol, up to two source port ranges and up to two destination port ranges can be configured. A maximum of four protocol entries can be configured per network service alias.

Use a service alias to associate more than one IP address to a network interface, providing multiple connections to a network from a single IP node.

To define a service alias configuration for a RF Domain:

1. Select Configuration > RF Domains from the Web UI.

   The RF Domain screen displays within the main portion of the Web UI, and the RF Domain Browser displays in the lower, left-hand portion of the Web UI.

2. From the RF Domain screen, either select the Add button or highlight an existing RF Domain and select Edit.

   An existing policy can also be modified by selecting it directly from the RF Domain Browser.

3. Expand the Network menu item and select Alias.
4. Select the Network Service Alias tab. The screen displays the attributes of existing network group alias configurations.
5. Select Add to create a new policy, Edit to modify the attributes of an existing policy or Delete to remove obsolete policies.
6. Select the added row to expand it into configurable parameters for defining the service alias rule.
7. If adding a new Network Service Alias Rule, give it a name up to 32 characters. Ensure a $ precedes the name.
8. Select + Add Row and provide the following configuration parameters:

   Protocol	Specify the protocol for which the alias has to be created. Use the drop down to select the protocol from eigrp, gre, icmp, igmp, ip, vrrp, igp, ospf, tcp, and udp. Select other if the protocol is not listed. When a protocol is selected, its protocol number is automatically selected.
   Source Port (Low and High)	This field is relevant only if the protocol is either tcp or udp. Specify the source ports for this protocol entry. A range of ports can be specified. Select the Enter Ranges button next to the field to enter a lower and higher port range value. Up to eight (8) such ranges can be specified.
   Destination Port (Low and High)	This field is relevant only if the protocol is either tcp or udp. Specify the destination ports for this protocol entry. A range of ports can be specified. Select the Enter Ranges button next to the field to enter a lower and higher port range value. Up to eight (8) such ranges can be specified.

9. In the Range field, use the + Add Row button to specify the Start IP address and End IP address for the service alias range, or double-click an existing service alias range entry to edit it.
10. Select OK when completed to update the service alias rules. Select Reset to revert the screen to its last saved configuration.
