Chapter 26 Configuring Network Security with ACLs
Configuring IP ACLs
Note When creating an ACL, remember that, by default, the end of the ACL contains an implicit deny
statement for all packets that it did not find a match for before reaching the end. With standard access
lists, if you omit the mask from an associated IP host address ACL specification, 0.0.0.0 is assumed to
be the mask.
This example shows how to create a standard ACL to deny access to IP host 171.69.198.102, permit
access to any others, and display the results.
Switch (config)# access-list 2 deny host 171.69.198.102
Switch (config)# access-list 2 permit any
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show access-lists
Standard IP access list 2
deny 171.69.198.102
permit any
The switch always rewrites the order of standard access lists so that entries with host matches and entries
with matches having a don’t care mask of 0.0.0.0 are moved to the top of the list, above any entries with
non-zero don’t care masks. Therefore, in show command output and in the configuration file, the ACEs
do not necessarily appear in the order in which they were entered.
After creating a numbered standard IP ACL, you can apply it to terminal lines (see the “Applying an IP
ACL to a Terminal Line” section on page 26-16), to interfaces (see the “Applying an IP ACL to an
Interface” section on page 26-16), or to VLANs (see the “Configuring VLAN Maps” section on
page 26-22).
Creating a Numbered Extended ACL
Although standard ACLs use only source addresses for matching, you can use extended ACL source and
destination addresses for matching operations and optional protocol type information for finer
granularity of control. When you are creating ACEs in numbered extended access lists, remember that
after you create the ACL, any additions are placed at the end of the list. You cannot reorder the list or
selectively add or remove ACEs from a numbered list.
Some protocols also have specific parameters and keywords that apply to that protocol.
These IP protocols are supported (protocol keywords are in parentheses in bold):
Authentication Header Protocol (ahp), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (eigrp),
Encapsulation Security Payload (esp), generic routing encapsulation (gre), Internet Control Message
Protocol (icmp), Internet Group Management Protocol (igmp), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
(igrp), any Interior Protocol (ip), IP in IP tunneling (ipinip), KA9Q NOS-compatible IP over IP
tunneling (nos), Open Shortest Path First routing (ospf), Payload Compression Protocol (pcp), Protocol
Independent Multicast (pim), Transmission Control Protocol (tcp), or User Datagram Protocol (udp).
Note ICMP echo-reply cannot be filtered. All other ICMP codes or types can be filtered.
For more details on the specific keywords relative to each protocol, refer to Cisco IP and IP Routing
Command Reference for IOS Release 12.1.
Note The switch does not support dynamic or reflexive access lists. It also does not support filtering based on
the type of service (ToS) minimize-monetary-cost bit.
