{Complete} Timebased Rules

heiko

Ok, i will test the next snapshot, but tommorow…..

1.) 7.) it would be fine, when the console menü receives a number with, for example, "deleting all schedules on rule", maybe,maybe

Can you elaborate some more on this?

i think, with a complex time based rulesystem, i can kick me out…., then i can reset all with the console menue, but this is not very comfortable, so i must reset , config restore and other things. A very big time lost...

I think, a number with the code behind " delete all schedules on rules" brings all rules up and i needn´t a restore or anything would be helpful.

Do you have a better proposal?

2.) I think the description could be a duty field - Screenshot

Duty field? Can you describe this in more detail? How is this different than what is already there?

At the Moment it doesn´t a duty field or my test was not right…., when you coded a duty field with a line break, i can already set a "speaking" description to that field. Then i can see directly what the admin means with this schedule.
Also, do you have a better proposal? I´m up for it!

I will test the other points in the morning, and post the outcomes….

Thank you very much!
Heiko

He means it is a required field, so that you can't save the page with nothing filled in there. He wants to always see a description in the schedules overview for better readability/understanding what this schedule does or is intended for.

Hmm, I don't particularly like making something required that isn't really necessary for the schedule to function. In my opinion making that field a requirement would be annoying.

Hello Scott,
i don´t think so…., but it is not really fundamental, so you must not change this field!!

At the Moment i cannot test the build, because i think the snapshot server is down?

heiko

Hello,
i need the snapshot server to test the build, then we will see if the project is finished.

Server is down, we're working on it.

heiko

I´m waiting and waiting, so i can test snort….. ;D

heiko

we are Online! i will download and test the latest snapshot, i will be post the outcomes…

All known bugs are knocked out using latest snapshot. Please test latest snapshot. This latest snapshot should complete time based rules if it meets approval.

Hello Scott´s,

first, i have a "big problem" with testing it completely out. Here the outcomes. Take a look at the Screenshots.

1.) The Filter reload ist not really working here. I created an icmp-rule to ping the wan-interface. OK, so i disabled this without having a schedule and the ping replys and replys and so on….... It is difficult to test the schedule-logic, cron, resettings states and so on if the filter reloading are not completely working without schedules. Even if i delete the rule, the ping replys and replys, i wait after the deletion one hour, the ping replys....New ping-sessions are also established. Hmmm? I don´t know.

Sorry! Please duplicate!

2.) Can you implement the extension to "Console-menu"?? It would be very nice.

3.) a line break also in the configured range would be helpful --> Screenshot
;D - it´s finished

4.) the Description of the "schedule name" is not right, "-;_" kicks me out when i fill this in..
;D -it´s finished

5.) Upps, when i edit a saved schedule and change the name for example from "test123" to "test12345", all rules with the schedule "test123" are not switching to "test12345" but to "none" -- intended Huh
;D -it´s finished , cool solution

6.) The "schedule name" field is very long, so look at the screenshot, maybe a little bit shorter, a field definition would be good.
??? Not complete, take a look at the screenshot -- Sorry

7.) Screenshot ; edit a saved range without saving the changes, edit then the next range, so the first one is down the drain, it would be better, i think, when only one range at a time can be modified.
;D -it´s finished

8.) Another problem i think --> see Screenshot ssh.jpg- I have to created a blocking rule like ssh at the top. Without a rule schedule it works fine. Now i create a time range - today 16:45 - to 17:00 -. The time is 16:20 when i put the schedule to the rule. Saved, but nothing happens... On 16:40 i cannot established a ssh session. The Blocking rule i think is only active betwen the timerange, so the default lan rule is active, but i can´t access. The webgui anti-lockout checkbox is active. The "not" operator are not used in this rule.

I can test it out, when the filter reloading and states resetting are OK, sorry

Please duplicate this behaviour to number 1 and i will retest as soon as possible

The "knock-out" is delayed :)

#1 Sorry, I do not understand this at all. You are saying that ICMP is not being blocked even without a schedule?

In terms of the description boxes, enter a space. Its NOT normal for someone to enter sdvjkhsdgkjhsdgkhsdkjdgsh as a description.

We'll look into the other nit-picks.

heiko

Hello Scott,
what is normal? We can finished it, but in my opinion a test is an extreme test.
Change it or leave it! Your decision!!!

Please test blocking rules without schedules. I´am confused of this.

Heiko

Sorry!!

sullrich

I don't understand the problem so it is going to be hard to test. Can you please explain #1 again.

heiko

Scott,
it is a very simple test.

My first test: I create a rule with icmp path to the wan!
2.) i ping- all is OK
3.) i disable the rule, and the ping replys
4.) i delete the rule, and the ping replys
5.) after the delete of the "one" rule, new ping replys and replys

So, before i test a rule with a schedule, at first a i test the normal behaviour….

Please duplicate!

sullrich

I cannot duplicate this. The firewall works as it should without schedules, in fact, we didn't modify the PF rules at all so if an item does not have a schedule then nothing has changed on the backend.

If you are speaking of a rule having an issue with a schedule please run ipfw show from the shell and show what the rules look like.

heiko

I will test it, i´am disappointed

sullrich

Why are you disappointed?

heiko

no comment, i will test it

I think our language barriers are getting in the way. Is there someone out there that can help translate?
