IP ACLs

title: IP ACLs sidebar: order: 3

An ACL is an ordered set of rules that you can use to filter traffic. Each rule specifies a set of conditions that a packet must satisfy to match the rule. When the device determines that an ACL applies to a packet, it tests the packet against the conditions of all rules. The first matching rule determines whether the packet is permitted or denied. If there is no match, the device applies the applicable implicit rule. The device continues processing packets that are permitted and drops packets that are denied.

Examples

Example-1

In this example, we have an IPv4 ACL named myACL with a remark in the sequence number 5 to describe the next entry or entries. In the sequence 10 we permit traffic with protocol IP between the source 192.168.10.0/24 and the destination 192.168.200.0/24.

ip access-list myacl
  5 remark Allow_traffic
  10 permit ip 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.255

Example-2

These two ACLs acl-103 and acl-104 filter TCP traffic.

The ACL acl-103 allows TCP traffic with port greater (gt) than 1023 with Flag established in the entry 10. The ACL acl-104 has two entries:

10 allows TCP traffic from any source IP with source port 80 to destination 192.168.1.100/32
20 allows TCP traffic fron source IP 192.168.1.0/24 to the destination port 20 with flag established.

  10 permit tcp any any gt 1023 established

Example-4

In this ACL http-option-acl we will enable statistics per entry. This ACL has two entries:

10 allows TCP traffic with http-method: GET and TCP-option with a length of 4 bytes.
20 allows TCP traffic with http-method: POST.
