Table 40: Configurable fields
Item Name | Description
--- | ---
OpenFlow TCP Port Number | TCP port number on which AMF Security's OpenFlow controller is waiting for control plane connections. Valid range is 1 to 65535. Default is 6653.
OpenFlow Session Timeout | Configure a timeout (in seconds) to disconnect an OpenFlow session with an irresponsive switch. When AMF Security does not receive any message from an OpenFlow Switch for half of this timeout value, AMF Security sends Echo request message to the switch. If the switch does not respond to the Echo request within the timeout period, AMF Security automatically closes the session with the switch. Valid range is 20 to 300. Default is 30.
Default Upstream Port | Default setting for OpenFlow Switch's upstream port. If no upstream port is specified in a configuration for an OpenFlow Switch, the default upstream port is used as upstream port on the OpenFlow Switch. Specify it with a port name or an OpenFlow port number. Default is unspecified (empty) which means that the OpenFlow port with the smallest OpenFlow port number on a switch is used as upstream port.
Quarantine VLAN ID | VLAN ID of the quarantine network where quarantined devices are placed. Valid range is 0 to 4094. Default is 4089.
Flow Lifetime (Hard Timeout) | Configure the default flow lifetime (in seconds) on the switch. When this amount of time has passed since a flow is created for a device, the flow is automatically deleted from OpenFlow Switches even though the device is still sending traffic. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default is 65535. Specifying 0 means that flows are never timed out. This value is used when a security policy for a device does not have Schedule. This value may be preceded by a Schedule's End Date / Time. This value is used as it is when the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is less than 65535 seconds. If the interval between the successful authentication and a scheduled End Date / Time is larger than or equals to 65535 seconds, actual timeout is set to 65535 seconds.
Flow Lifetime fluctuation | Configure a maximum fluctuation value for Flow Lifetime (in seconds). When set to non-zero value (X), actual flow lifetime value is calculated by subtracting a random fluctuation value between 0 and X from the Default Flow Lifetime. This value must be less than the Flow Lifetime value and in the range between 0 and 600 (Only 0 is valid when the Default Flow Lifetime is 0). Default is 0. (The Default Flow Lifetime is used as is). For example, when the Flow Lifetime fluctuation is set to 600 seconds, actual flow lifetime set to flow entries is determined by subtracting a random value between 0 and 600 from the Default Flow Lifetime (If the Default Flow Lifetime is 65535 (default), actual flow lifetime can be any value in the range between 64935 and 65535).
Reject Flow Lifetime | Flow lifetime in seconds for devices which failed to authenticate. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default is 30. Specifying 0 means that reject flows are never created.
Flow Idle Timeout (Idle Timeout) | An amount of time that should have passed without any traffic from a device before the flow for the device is deleted automatically. Valid range is 0 to 65535. Default is 300. Specifying 0 means that flows are never deleted even though no traffic is seen from devices.
Encrypt the OpenFlow control session. | Check this to encrypt control plane traffic between AMF Security and OpenFlow Switches. TLS is used for encryption. To use encrypted control plane, you also have to configure OpenFlow Switches to use encryption.
Discard packets generated by OpenFlow Switches. | Check this to install flows on the OpenFlow Switches that discard packets originated from the OpenFlow Switch themselves.
Reject Flow is operated same as normal flow. | Configure the timer and deletion behavior of Reject flows. Default is disabled. ・Unchecked: The timer is set to Reject Flow Lifetime. OpenFlow Switches does not notify AMF Security when they delete the flow entry. ・Checked: The timer is set to Default Flow Lifetime and Flow Idle Timeout is used. OpenFlow Switches notify AMF Security when they delete the flow entry.

> Note

> > AMF Security is using several ports internally. Refer to Appendix / TCP or UDP port used by AMF Security for the ports used by AMF Security.

> Note

> > Default Upstream Port is applied to unregistered OpenFlow Switches When you are using both AlliedWare plus switches and AT-TQ wireless access points as OpenFlow Switches, configuring the Default Upstream Port disturbs flow entry registration due to the difference in the port number structure between AlliedWare Plus and AT-TQ series.
> > When you use non-minimum number OpenFlow port as upstream port on AlliedWare Plus Devices, individually configure the upstream port on each OpenFlow Switch.
> > Refer to Switches > Add OpenFlow Switch for instructions on how to register OpenFlow Switches.

> Note

> > The "Quarantine VLAN ID" setting is the same as the "Quarantine VLAN ID" on the AMF > TQ Settings page.

  To receive and monitor syslog messages from AT-AR3050S/AT-AR4050S routers,
  Then, check events which you want to monitor in the "Trap Action Target List" table.
  - IP Reputation: Detection of Malware Category
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the IP reputation feature on the router detects the device tries to communicate with a destination classified as Malware category (Malware C&C server (CnC), Malware-infected host (Bot) or Mobile C&C Server (Mobile_CnC)).
  - IP Reputation: Detection of Spyware Category
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the IP reputation feature on the router detects the device tries to communicate a destination classified as Spyware category (drop site (Drop), Spyware C&C server (SpywareCnC) or Mobile Spyware C&C server (Mobile_Spyware_CnC)).
  - Firewall(IDS): Detection of Syn Flood attacks from LAN to WAN
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the firewall's IDS feature on the router detects the SYN Flood attack from the device.
  - Firewall(IDS): Detection of ICMP Flood attacks from LAN to WAN
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the firewall's IDS feature on the router detects the ICMP Flood attack from the device.
  - Firewall(IDS): Detection of UDP Flood attacks from LAN to WAN
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the firewall's IDS feature on the router detects the UDP Flood attack from the device.
  - Firewall(IDS): Detection of TCP Stealth Scan from LAN to WAN
    Block traffics from a device when AMF Security receives a syslog message indicating that the firewall's IDS feature on the router detects the TCP Stealth Scan attack from the device.

  Enable the monitoring of traps from this host. | If you want to monitor the device by receiving Syslog message from AT-AR3050S or AT-AR4050S, check the check box.
  Host Addresses | IPv4 Address of AT-AR3050S/AT-AR4050S routers. Multiple hosts can be specified by separating each address by a semicolon (;). Default is unspecified (empty) which means that AMF Security accepts syslog messages from any IPv4 Address.
  OpenFlow/TQ Action | In the OpenFlow Switch and the TQ's AMF Application Proxy under AMF Security control, select the action to control the communication of the corresponding device. ・Drop(Block): Block traffic from the device. ・Quarantine: Move the device to the quarantine network. ・Log-Only: AMF Security does not notify you of the action and does not control the communication of the device. Output only the log of the applicable device. ・Redirect-URL: Apply Redirect-URL Action to the device to connect to the quarantine network. This action is only supported by TQ's AMF Application Proxy, not supported by OpenFlow.
  AMF Action | Select an action to use the AW+ AMF Application Proxy to instruct the device to block communication. ・Drop Packets: Block traffics from the device at the layer two (MAC) level. ・Link-Down: Shutdown the port where the device is connected. ・Quarantine: Move the device to the quarantine VLAN. ・AMF Dependency: AMF Security does not specify an action and lets AMF devices determine its action. ・IP-Filter: Block traffics from the device at the layer 3 (IP) level. ・Log-Only: AMF Security notifies the action of the log, but only outputs the log without controlling the communication of the corresponding device.
  Character Encoding | Set the encoding method for Syslog/SNMP trap messages sent from cooperative applications. Specify the following character strings according to the encoding method. ・UTF-8: Specify utf-8-sig. ・Shift_JIS: Specifies shift-jis. The default is utf-8-sig. If this setting is left blank, the default utf-8-sig is set.

  > Note

  > > The behavior of the "Quarantine" action depends on the firmware version of your AlliedWare Plus device (Edge Nodes).
  > > ・Version 5.5.0-2.x or later when using multiple dynamic VLANs with port authentication (including AMF Application Proxy Whitelist) and AMF Application Proxy Blacklist: Move only the MAC address of the affected device to the quarantine VLAN
  > > ・Otherwise: Move the port to which the affected device is connected to the quarantine VLAN

  > Note

  > > Prior to version 5.5.0-2.x, dynamic VLANs cannot be used when using quarantine action and port authentication (including AMF Application Proxy Whitelist) on the same port.

## Email Notification Settings

This page lets you configure Email Notifications.
You can configure AMF Security to notify an administrator with an email when an event such as device authentication or block happens, when you forget your password, or when your license expires.
AMF Security also sends emails to forward the contents of syslog messages and SNMP traps it receives.

> Note

> > Email notification of syslog and trap messages are always enabled and cannot be disabled.

> Note

> > With this setting, the connection with connected OpenFlow Switch or AMF Master is temporarily disconnected.

> Note

> > To recover your password if you forget it, you need to register your Email Address on the Add Account page or Update Account page in advance.

AMF Security queues the Notification Emails by the following rules and tries to resend them upon failure.

- When an event occurs, AMF Security queues up to 100 emails for the event in the first 10 seconds after the event.
- Queued emails are sent out as a single email after 10 seconds.
- If 100 or more events occur in 10 seconds after the first event, AMF Security queues them too.
- A Queue is created for each event types of Email Notification Settings.
- AMF Security attempts up to four retries, i.e. AMF Security tries to send an email up to 5 times.

To enable Email Notifications, check the "Enable Email Notification" on the page.

> Note

> > An email regarding the license expiration date is sent after making this setting and the SMTP Server Settings.

## License

You have to install proper licenses before you start using AMF Security.
There are two types of licenses: "Base" and "Addon".

- You always need the Base license to run AMF Security.
  OpenFlow and AMF Application Proxy do not work until the base license is installed.
- The Addon license is for adding an OpenFlow switch. AMF Application Proxy works with a Base license only, no Addon license for nodes is required.
  Although you can install Addon licenses before installing the Base license, AMF Security does not work until the Base license is installed.

> Note

> > If you do not have a license file, contact our sales engineer.
> > To obtain the license file, you need the AMF Security serial number displayed on the System Settings > System Information page.

> Note

> > Purchase a license to use OpenFlow.

> Note

> > For the license, also refer to Accessing Management Interface / Starting Configuration > Installing Licenses.
