Standard
Extended
Standard ACLs


Use only the packet’s source address
for comparison
1-99
Extended ACLs

Provide more precise (finer tuned)
packet selection based on:




Source and destination addresses
Protocols
Port numbers
100-199
Steps to Create an ACL



Create ACL in global config
Assign to interface
Decide the direction


In
Out
How do ACLs work?



Processing occurs line by line from top
to bottom.
New lines are added at the end of the
current list.
Last line of an ACL is an implicit “deny
any.”
How does a Standard ACL
work?

If source IP address is matched:

Permit or deny statement is processed



Permit – action in ACL is performed
Deny – packet is dropped
Implicit Deny – If a packet’s address does not
match an earlier statement an implicit deny
any occurs at the end of every ACL and the
packet is dropped.
Wildcard Masks



Are used to specify (by bits) the traffic
you are trying to filter by address.
Use 1s to ignore, 0s to match.
In the example below, only the 1st 2
octets will be examined:

172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255
Global Standard ACL
command


access-list access-list-number
{permit |deny} source-ip-address
wildcard-mask [log]
Log – causes each packet that matches
this statement to generate a log entry
that is recorded by the router.
Examples of Standard ACLs

To permit all packets for the network
number 172.16.0.0

Access-list 20 permit 172.16.0.0
0.0.255.255
Examples Cont’d

To permit traffic from the host
172.16.1.1 only

Access-list 20 permit 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0
Examples Cont’d

To permit traffic from any source
address.

Access-list 20 permit 0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255
OR

Access-list 20 permit any
Examples Cont’d

To permit traffic from the subnet
12.16.0.0 through 12.31.0.0

Access-list 20 permit 12.16.0.0
0.15.255.255
Identical Statements


Access-list 22 permit 0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255
Access-list 22 permit any
Identical Statements


Access-list 23 permit 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0
Access-list 23 permit host 172.16.1.1

Major differences

Standard ACL



Use only source address and requires fewer CPU
cycles.
Place as close to destination as possible.
Extended ACL


More flexible and requires more CPU cycles.
Place as close to source as possible. (This keeps
undesired traffic and ICMP messages away from
the network backbone.)
Do I place an ACL in?

In


Requires less CPU processing because
every packet bypasses processing before it
is routed.
Filtering decision is made prior to the
routing table.
Do I place an ACL out?

Out


Routing decision has been made and the
packet is switched to the proper outbound
interface before it is tested against the
access list.
ACLs are outbound unless otherwise
specified.
