permit icmp (for IPv6 ACLs)
To allow all or specific internet control message protocol (ICMP) messages, configure a filter.
Syntax
permit icmp {source address mask | any | host ipv6-address} {destination
address | any | host ipv6-address} [message-type] [ttl operator] [count [byte]]
[log [interval minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]] [monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
• Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the filter’s sequence number.
• Use the no permit icmp {source address mask | any | host ipv6-address}
{destination address | any | host ipv6-address} command.
Parameters
source address
mask
Enter a network mask in /prefix format (/x) or A.B.C.D. The mask, when specified in
A.B.C.D format, may be either contiguous or non-contiguous.
any Enter the keyword any to specify that all routes are subject to the filter.
host ip-v6address Enter the keyword host then the IPv6 address to specify a host IP address.
destination Enter the IP address of the network or host to which the packets are sent.
ttl Enter the keyword ttl to permit a packet based on the time to live value. The range is
from 1 to 255.
operator Enter one of the following logical operand:
• eq(equal to) — matches packets that contain a ttl value that is equal to the specified
ttl value.
• neq(not equal to) — matches packets that contain a ttl value that is not equal to the
specified ttl value.
•
gt(greater than) — matches packets that contain a ttl value that is greater than the
specified ttl value.
• lt (less than) — matches packets that contain a ttl value that is less than the
specified ttl value.
• range(inclusive range of values) — matches packets that contain a ttl value that
falls between the specified range of ttl values.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed by the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the filter.
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to enable the triggering of ACL log messages.
threshold-in msgs
count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the threshold-in-msgs keyword followed by a value to indicate
the maximum number of ACL logs that can be generated, exceeding which the generation
of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit, or deny commands. The threshold
range is from 1 to 100.
interval minutes (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the time period in minutes at
which ACL logs must be generated. The interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the traffic that you
want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule is applied to the
monitored interface.
Defaults
By default, 10 ACL logs are generated if you do not specify the threshold explicitly.
The default frequency at which ACL logs are generated is five minutes. By default, flow-based monitoring is not
enabled.
