EZD0815I   Packet denied by policy: timestamp filter rule= rulename ext= instance sipaddr= sipadd dipaddr= dipaddr proto= proto tag1 tag2 tag3 Interface= ifcaddr ( dir ) secclass= secclass dest= dest len= len vpnaction= vpnaction tunnelID= tunID ifcname= ifcname fragment= frag

Explanation

An IP packet matched the indicated deny filter rule. For this message to be written, the matched filter rule must have IpFilterLogging set to yes.

timestamp is the stack timestamp that indicates the time at which the IP packet was processed by the stack. This time is retrieved from the system time-of-day clock, which usually reflects coordinated universal time (UTC). This timestamp might be different than the syslogd message timestamp.

rulename is the filter rule name. If the IP packet matched a dynamic filter rule, the rule name of the corresponding anchor filter rule will be displayed; otherwise, the rule name of the matching filter rule will be displayed.
  • In the policy agent configuration file, rulename is the name specified on the IpFilterRule statement.
  • When configured with the IBM® Configuration Assistant for z/OS® Communications Server, rulename corresponds to the name of a Connectivity Rule in the GUI. rulename also contains a suffix appended to the Connectivity Rule name to guarantee uniqueness.

instance is the rule name extension that indicates which instance of the rule name was matched.

sipaddr is the source IP address.

dipaddr is the destination IP address.

proto is the protocol of the packet. Possible values are:
  • ICMP(1)
  • IGMP(2)
  • IP(4)
  • TCP(6)
  • UDP(17)
  • ESP(50)
  • AH(51)
  • ICMPv6(58)
  • OSPF(89)
  • MIPv6(135)
  • IPIP(94)
  • Unknown
  • The protocol number
The tag1 value varies depending on the proto value.
  • If the proto value is ICMP or ICMPv6, the tag1 value is type= followed by the ICMP or ICMPv6 type, or followed by the value Unknown if the ICMP header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is TCP or UDP, the tag1 value is sport= followed by the source port, or followed by the value Unknown if the TCP or UDP header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is OSPF, the tag1 value is type= followed by the type, or followed by the value Unknown if the OSPF header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is MIPv6, the tag1 value is type= followed by the type, or followed by the value Unknown if the MIPv6 header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is any value not previously mentioned, the tag1 value is -= which indicates that the data is not applicable.
tag2 value varies depending on the proto value.
  • If the proto value is ICMP or ICMPv6, the tag2 value is code= followed by the ICMP or ICMPv6 code, or followed by the value Unknown if the ICMP header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is TCP or UDP, the tag2 value is dport= followed by the destination port, or followed by the value Unknown if the TCP or UDP header is not present in the packet as the result of fragmentation.
  • If the proto value is any value not previously mentioned, the tag2 value is -= which indicates that the data is not applicable.
tag3 value varies depending on the proto value and direction.
  • If the proto value is TCP or UDP, the direction is inbound, and the port has been translated by the CommServer NAT Traversal function, the tag3 value is origport= followed by the original source port.
  • If the proto value is TCP or UDP, the direction is outbound, and the port has been translated by the CommServer NAT Traversal function, the tag3 value is origport= followed by the original destination port.
  • If the proto value is any value not previously mentioned, the tag3 value is -= which indicates that the data is not applicable.

ifcaddr is the interface address over which the packet was received or sent.

dir is I if packet is inbound, O if packet is outbound.

secclass is the security class assigned to the interface. Security class is a numeric value in the range of 0–255.

dest is local if a local destination or routed if being routed.

len is the packet length.

vpnaction is the vpnaction name. If no tunnel is associated with the matched filter, vpnaction displays N/A.
  • In the policy agent configuration file, the vpnaction value is one of the following:
    • If the tunnel is a manual tunnel, vpnaction is the name specified on the IpManVpnAction statement.
    • If the tunnel is a dynamic tunnel, vpnaction is the name specified on the IpDynVpnAction statement.
  • When configured with the IBM Configuration Assistant for z/OS Communications Server, the vpnaction name corresponds to the name of the security level in the GUI. The vpnaction name also contains a suffix appended to the security level name to guarantee uniqueness.

ifcname is the interface name

tunID is the tunnel ID.

frag specifies whether the packet is a fragment. The value is Y if the packet is a fragment, or N if the packet is not a fragment.
