1. CCNA – Cisco Certified Network Associates Access Control List (ACL) By Roshan Chaudhary Lecturer Islington College

2. Access Control List (ACL) ACL to Secure Networks ACLs are used to stop traffic or permit only specified traffic while stopping all other traffic on their networks. ACLs enable us to control traffic into and out of your network. This control can be as simple as permitting or denying network hosts or addresses. However, ACLs can also be configured to control network traffic based on the port being used. ACL is a sequential list of permit or deny statements that apply to IP addresses or upper-layer protocols.

3. Access Control List (ACL) Packet Filtering Packet filtering, sometimes called static packet filtering, controls access to a network by analyzing the incoming and outgoing packets and passing or halting them based on stated criteria.

4. Access Control List (ACL) ACL Operation ACLs are configured either to apply to inbound traffic or to apply to outbound traffic. Inbound ACLs - Incoming packets are processed before they are routed to the outbound interface. An inbound ACL is efficient because it saves the overhead of routing lookups if the packet is discarded. If the packet is permitted by the tests, it is then processed for routing. Outbound ACLs - Incoming packets are routed to the outbound interface, and then they are processed through the outbound ACL.

5. Types of Cisco ACLs Standard ACLs Standard ACLs allow us to permit or deny traffic from source IP address. The destination of the packet and the ports involved do not matter. Router(config)#access-list

6. Types of Cisco ACLs Extended ACLs Extended ACLs filter IP packets based on several attributes, for example, protocol type, source and destination IP address, source TCP or UDP ports, destination TCP or UDP ports, and optional protocol type information for finer granularity of control. Router(config)#access-list

11. ACL Removing ACL Router(config)#no access-list Wildcard Mask Wildcard mask bit 0 - Match the corresponding bit value in the address. Wildcard mask bit 1 - Ignore the corresponding bit value in the address.

12. Procedure for Configuring Standard ACL

13. ACL Tips An implicit DENY statement is hard-coded into every ACL. We cannot see it, but it says "deny everything not already permitted". This is always the last line of any ACL. If we want to defeat this implicit DENY, should put a PERMIT ANY statement in our standard ACLs or PERMIT IP ANY ANY in our extended ACLs as the last line. Access lists can be applied in either an inbound direction (keyword IN) or in an outbound direction (keyword OUT). Apply a standard ACL as close as possible to the destination network or device. Only one access list can be applied per interface, per direction.
