Configuring an
Extended IPv6 ACL
Use the Security > ACL (Configure ACL - Add Rule - IPv6 Extended) page to
configure an Extended IPv6 ACL.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Type
– Selects the type of ACLs to show in the Name list.
Name
– Shows the names of ACLs matching the selected type.
Action
– An ACL can contain any combination of permit or deny rules.
Destination Address Type
– Specifies the destination IP address type. Use
Any to include all possible addresses, “Host” to specify a specific host address
in the Address field, or “IPv6-Prefix” to specify a range of addresses. (Options:
Any, Host, IPv6-Prefix; Default: Any)
Destination IPv6 Address
– An IPv6 address or network class. The address
must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using
8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used in
the address to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the
undefined fields.
Destination Prefix Length
– A decimal value indicating how many contiguous
bits (from the left) of the address comprise the prefix; i.e., the network portion
of the address. (Range: 0-128 bits)
Next Header
– Identifies the type of header immediately following the IPv6
header. (Range: 0-255)
Optional internet-layer information is encoded in separate headers that may be
placed between the IPv6 header and the upper-layer header in a packet. There
are a small number of such extension headers, each identified by a distinct Next
Header value. IPv6 supports the values defined for the IPv4 Protocol field in
RFC 1700, and includes these commonly used headers:
0 : Hop-by-Hop Options (RFC 2460)
6 : TCP Upper-layer Header (RFC 1700)
17 : UDP Upper-layer Header (RFC 1700)
43 : Routing (RFC 2460)
44 : Fragment (RFC 2460)
50 : Encapsulating Security Payload (RFC 2406)
51 : Authentication (RFC 2402)
60 : Destination Options (RFC 2460)
