Description

Creates an IPv4 Access Control List (ACL) comprised of one or more Access Control Entries (ACEs) ordered and prioritized by sequence number. The lowest sequence number is the highest prioritized ACE.

The no form of this command deletes the entire ACL, or deletes an ACE identified by sequence number, or deletes only the comment from the ACE identified by sequence number.

Command context

config

The access-list ip <ACL-NAME> command takes you into the named ACL context where you enter the ACEs.

Parameters

<ACL-NAME>

Specifies the name of this ACL.

<SEQUENCE-NUMBER>

Specifies a sequence number for the ACE. Range: 1 to 4294967295.

{permit|deny}

Specifies whether to permit or deny traffic matching this ACE.

<IP-PROTOCOL-NUM>

Specifies the protocol as its Internet Protocol number. For example, 2 corresponds to the IGMP protocol. Range: 0 to 255.

    • <SUBNET-MASK> - specifies the address bits to mask (dotted decimal notation).

  • <ADDRESS-GROUP> - specifies an IPv4 address group defined with object-group ip address.

{any|<DST-IP-ADDRESS>[/{<PREFIX-LENGTH>|<SUBNET-MASK>}]|<ADDRESS-GROUP>}
Specifies the destination IPv4 address.
  • any - specifies any destination IPv4 address.

  • <DST-IP-ADDRESS> - specifies the destination IPv4 host address.

    • <PREFIX-LENGTH> - specifies the address bits to mask (CIDR subnet mask notation). Range: 1 to 32.

    • <SUBNET-MASK> - specifies the address bits to mask (dotted decimal notation).

  • <ADDRESS-GROUP> - specifies an IPv4 address group that you defined earlier with object-group ip address.

[{eq|gt|lt} <PORT>|range <MIN-PORT> <MAX-PORT>|group <PORT-GROUP>]
Specifies the port, port range, or port group. Port numbers are in the range of 0 to 65535.
  • eq <PORT> - specifies the Layer 4 port.

  • gt <PORT> - specifies any Layer 4 port greater than the indicated port.

  • lt <PORT> - specifies any Layer 4 port less than the indicated port.

  • range <MIN-PORT> <MAX-PORT> - specifies the Layer 4 port range.

  • group <PORT-GROUP> - specifies the Layer 4 port group that you defined earlier with object-group port.

NOTE:

Upon application of the ACL, ACEs with L4 port ranges may consume more than one hardware entry.

[icmp-type {echo|echo-reply|<ICMP-TYPE-VALUE>}]
Specifies the ICMP type.
  • echo - specifies an ICMP echo request packet.

This parameter cannot be used in any ACL that will be applied to a VLAN.

ttl <TTL-VALUE>

Specifies a time-to-live (hop limit) value. Range: 0 to 255.

count

Keeps the hit counts of the number of packets matching this ACE.

log

Keeps a log of the number of packets matching this ACE. Works with deny actions but not with permit actions. Works with ACLs applied on ingress or egress, except for control plane.

[<SEQUENCE-NUMBER>] comment <TEXT-STRING>

Adds a comment to an ACE. The no form removes only the comment from the ACE.

Authority

Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.

Usage

  • If the <IP-PROTOCOL-NUM> parameter is used instead of a protocol name, ensure that any needed ACE-definition parameters specific to the selected protocol are also provided.

  • When using multiple ACL types (IPv4, IPv6, or MAC) with logging on the same interface, the first packet that matches an ACE with log option is logged. Until the log-timer wait-period is over, any packets matching other ACL types do not create a log. At the end of the wait-period, the switch creates a summary log for all the ACLs that were matched, regardless of type.
