Examples edit

access-list (IP standard) edit

To define a standard IP access list, use the standard version of the access-list command in global configuration mode.[2] 

access-list <access-list-number> {deny | permit} <source> [<source-wildcard>] [log]
access-list 1 deny 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 log
access-list 1 permit any

access-list (IP extended) edit

To define an extended IP access list, use the extended version of the access-list command in global configuration mode.[3] 

access-list <access-list-number> [dynamic <dynamic-name> [timeout <minutes>]] {deny | permit} <protocol> <source> <source-wildcard> <destination> <destination-wildcard> [log | log-input]]
access-list 101 permit tcp host 192.168.1.2 host 192.168.1.1 eq telnet
access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq telnet log
access-list 101 permit ip any any

ip access-list edit

To define an IP access list by name, use the ip access-list command in global configuration mode.[4] 

ip access-list {standard | extended} access-list-name

ip access-list standard block-private
deny 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 log

ip access-list extended filter-ssh
permit tcp host 192.168.1.2 host 192.168.1.1 eq 22
deny tcp any any eq 22 log
permit ip any any

ip access-group edit

To control access to an interface, use the ip access-group command in interface configuration mode.[5] 

ip access-group {<access-list-number> | <access-list-name>}{in | out}
ip access-group 1 out
ip access-group block-private out
ip access-group 101 in
ip access-group filter-ssh in

show access-lists edit

To display the contents of current access lists, use the show access-lists privileged EXEC command.[6] 

show access-lists [<access-list-number> | <access-list-name>]
show access-lists
show access-lists 1
show access-lists block-private

show ip access-lists edit

To display the contents of all current IP access lists, use the show ip access-list EXEC command.[7] 

show ip access-lists [access-list-number | access-list-name]
show ip access-lists 1
show ip access-lists block-private

Command Sequence edit

A command sequence to configure port security might be similar to the following. 

enable
configure terminal

access-list 1 deny 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 log
access-list 1 deny 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 log
access-list 1 deny 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 log
access-list 1 permit any

access-list 101 permit tcp host 192.168.1.2 host 192.168.1.1 eq 22
access-list 101 deny tcp any any eq 22 log
access-list 101 permit ip any any

interface fastethernet 0/0
ip access-group 101 in

interface fastethernet 0/1
ip access-group 1 out

exit
exit

show access-lists
show ip interface
exit

Lesson Summary edit

  • An access control list refers to rules that are applied to port numbers or IP addresses that are available on a host, each with a list of hosts and/or networks permitted to use the service.[8]
  • Access control lists can generally be configured to control both inbound and outbound traffic, and in this context they are similar to firewalls.[9]
  • To define a standard IP access list, use the standard version of the access-list command in global configuration mode.[10]
  • Access lists may be configured to specifically permit or deny network traffic.[11]
  • Access lists end with an implicit deny all. Only traffic explicitly permitted by the access list will be allowed.[12]
  • Standard access lists filter based on source IP address.[13]
  • Standard numbered access lists are numbered from 1 to 99 or from 1300 to 1999.[14]
  • Access list wildcard masks are applied to IP addresses similar to the way subnet masks are applied, but with an opposite design. Subnet masks use 1-bits to identify the network. Access list wildcard masks use 1-bits to identify the host addresses to be filtered.[15]
  • To define an extended IP access list, use the extended version of the access-list command in global configuration mode.[16]
  • Extended access lists filter based on source and destination IP addresses, protocols, and port numbers.[17]
  • Extended numbered access lists are numbered from 100 to 199 or from 2000 to 2699.[18]
  • The log access-list command option causes an informational logging message about the packet that matches the entry to be sent to the console.[19]
  • To define an IP access list by name, use the ip access-list command in global configuration mode.[20]
  • To control access to an interface, use the ip access-group command in interface configuration mode.[21]
  • Access lists filter either inbound or outbound traffic based on the ip access-group options of in or out.[22]
  • To display the contents of current access lists, use the show access-lists privileged EXEC command.[23]
  • To display the contents of all current IP access lists, use the show ip access-list EXEC command.[24]
