RAPOLICY(1)		    General Commands Manual		   RAPOLICY(1)

NAME
       rapolicy	 -  compare a argus(8) data file/stream	against	a Cisco	Access
       Control List.

SYNOPSIS
       rapolicy	-r argus-file [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION
       Rapolicy	reads argus data from an argus-file list, and tests the	 argus
       data  stream   against  a  Cisco	access control list configuration file
       Rapolicy	can do many things as defined by its configuration  file.  The
       configuration  file  in not optional and	the example below is well com-
       mented. The ACL file is specified in the	configuration file.

OPTIONS
       Rapolicy, like all ra based clients, supports a	large  number  of  op-
       tions.  Options that have specific meaning to rapolicy are:

	  -f <rapolicy configuration file> defines the actions of the client.
	  -D 3		      Print the	output of the state event machine.

       See ra(1) for a complete	description of ra options.

EXAMPLE	INVOCATION
       rapolicy	-f rapolicy.conf -r argus.file

CISCO ACL SYNTAX
       Rapolicy	 handles  both standard	and extended, numbered and named Cisco
       Access Control Lists

EXAMPLE	CONFIGURATION
       This example is provided	as an example only.

       #
       # Example rapolicy.conf
       #
       # Rapolicy, like	most ra* programs, can read a program specific
       # configuration file.   This is an example configuration	for rapolicy()
       # that provides the opportunity to modify the default behavior of
       # parsing a Cisco ACL definition, and reporting on flows	that match
       # aspects of the	policy defined by the ACL.
       #
       # This file is read by rapolicy() from the command line using the
       # " -f rapolicy.conf " option.
       #
       # RA_POLICY_DUMP_POLICY is a debugging aid. If it is set	to yes,	then rapolicy()	will read
       # and parse the ACL file	and output an English language description of the actions associated
       # with each ACL entry. After outputting the explaination, rapolicy will exit.

       RA_POLICY_DUMP_POLICY="yes"

       # The rapolicy client parses a Cisco IOS	ACL and	constructs a filter which is used
       # to permit or deny flows. Under	normal circumstances the packets meeting the
       # criteria for a	permit rule are	output by the client. There are	circumstances where
       # it is useful to see the flows that are	dropped. RA_POLICY_SHOW_WHICH can be set
       # to a value of "deny" in these cases.

       RA_POLICY_SHOW_WHICH="permit"

       # Under normal operating	conditions, only the flow records that match a permit
       # or a deny rule	(depending on the value	of RA_POLICY_SHOW_WHICH) are output. In
       # some instance like baselining the actions of an ACL, the goal is to have a fully
       # labeled set of	flows regardless of the	ACL's permit or	deny determination. In these
       # instances, a value of yes for RA_POLICY_JUST_LABEL will allow the full	processing of
       # the flows and will label them according to the	settings of the	label flags but	all of
       # the flows handled by the ACL will be output

       RA_POLICY_JUST_LABEL="no"

       # A Cisco IP ACL	normally has no	impact on non-IP traffic eg: ARP, DDCMP, Slotted-Aloha
       # RA_POLICY_PERMIT_OTHERS can be	set to "yes" for the normal behavior or	"no" to	block
       # non-IP	traffic

       RA_POLICY_PERMIT_OTHERS="yes"

       # The rapolicy client can add a label to	a flow indicating the action (permit, deny,
       # or implictDeny), the ACL name or number) and the line within the ACL that caused the
       # action.
       #
       # if RA_POLICY_LABEL_LOG	is set to "yes"	labels will be added to	flows matching ACL
       # entries that have a log qualifier.

       RA_POLICY_LABEL_LOG="no"

       # If RA_POLICY_LABEL_ALL	is set to "yes"	regardless of the value	of RA_POLICY_LABEL_LOG,
       # any flow that matches an ACL entry will be labeled

       RA_POLICY_LABEL_ALL="no"

       # Every Cisos IOS ACL has an implicit deny as its last entry. Flows that	do not match any
       # ACL entry are usually dropped silently. RA_POLICY_LABEL_IMPLICIT will label flows that
       # are dropped by	the implicit deny rule.	Under normal circumstances, these flows	are not
       # labeled. The values of	RA_POLICY_LABEL_ALL and	RA_POLICY_LABEL_LOG do not govern the
       # labeling of these flows.

       RA_POLICY_LABEL_IMPLICIT="no"

       # The ACL is contained in a standard ASCII text file which is identified	by the value of
       # RA_POLICY_ACL_FILE Since rapolicy is not designed to be a syntax checker, it is a
       # good idea to create the ACL on	a Cisco	device and take	the output of show running
       # (or the appropriate equivalent	command) as the	input ACL for rapolicy()
       # The policy file should	be defined as the last item in the rapolicy.conf file
       # or there may be unexpected side effects

       RA_POLICY_ACL_FILE="/tmp/ACL03.txt"
