Default And Implicit Ipv6 Acl Action - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

47
Configuring an IPv6 ACL
BigIron RX(config)# sh ipv6 access-list rtr
ipv6 access-list rtr: 3 entries
10: deny tcp 2001:1570:21::/24 2001:1570:22::/24
20: deny udp any range 5 6 2001:1570:22::/24
30: permit ipv6 any any
The following commands apply the ACL "rtr" to the incoming traffic on ports 2/1 and 2/2.
BigIron RX(config)# int eth 2/1
BigIron RX(config-if-2/1)# ipv6 traffic-filter rtr in
BigIron RX(config-if-2/1)# exit
BigIron RX(config)# int eth 2/2
BigIron RX(config-if-2/2)# ipv6 traffic-filter rtr in
BigIron RX(config)# write memory

Default and implicit IPv6 ACL action

The default action when no IPv6 ACLs are configured on an interface is to permit all IPv6 traffic.
However, once you configure an IPv6 ACL and apply it to an interface, the default action for that
interface is to deny all IPv6 traffic that is not explicitly permitted on the interface.

Every IPv6 ACL has the following implicit conditions as its last match conditions.
1. permit icmp any any nd-na – Allows ICMP neighbor discovery acknowledgement.
2. permit icmp any any nd-ns – Allows ICMP neighbor discovery solicitation.
3. deny ipv6 any any – Denies IPv6 traffic. You must enter a permit ipv6 any any as the last
The conditions are applied in the order shown above, with deny ipv6 any any as the last condition
applied.
For example, if you want to deny ICMP neighbor discovery acknowledgement, then permit any
remaining IPv6 traffic, enter commands such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 access-list netw
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-access-list-netw)# permit icmp 2000:2383:e0bb::/64
2001:3782::/64
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-access-list-netw)# deny icmp any any nd-na
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-access-list-netw)# permit ipv6 any any
The first permit statement permits ICMP traffic from hosts in the 2000:2383:e0bb::x network to
hosts in the 2001:3782::x network.
The deny statement denies ICMP neighbor discovery acknowledgement.
The last entry permits all packets that are not explicitly denied by the other entries. Without this
entry, the ACL will deny all incoming IPv6 traffic on the ports to which you assigned the ACL.

If you want to tightly control access, configure ACLs consisting of permit entries for the access
you want to permit. The ACLs implicitly deny all other access.
If you want to secure access in environments with many users, you might want to configure
ACLs that consist of explicit deny entries, then add an entry to permit all access to the end of
each ACL. The permit entry permits packets that are not denied by the deny entries.
statement in the access-list if you want to permit IPv6 traffic that were not denied by the
previous statements.
