Allowing Broadcast And Multicast Traffic Through The Transparent Firewall; Adding An Extended Ace - Cisco 7604 Configuration Manual

Chapter 13 Identifying Traffic with Access Lists
You can apply only one access list of each type (extended and EtherType) to each direction of an
interface. You can apply the same access lists on multiple interfaces. See
Denying Network Access,"
Note If you change the access list configuration, and you do not want to wait for existing connections to time
out before the new access list information is used, you can clear the connections using the clear
local-host command.

Allowing Broadcast and Multicast Traffic through the Transparent Firewall

In routed firewall mode, broadcast and multicast traffic is blocked even if you allow it in an access list,
including unsupported dynamic routing protocols and DHCP (unless you configure DHCP relay).
Transparent firewall mode can allow any IP traffic through. This feature is especially useful in multiple
context mode, which does not allow dynamic routing, for example.
Because these special types of traffic are connectionless, you need to apply an extended access list to

both interfaces, so returning traffic is allowed through.

Adding an Extended ACE

When you enter the access-list command for a given access list name, the ACE is added to the end of
the access list unless you specify the line number.
To add an ACE, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended]
{deny | permit} protocol source_address mask [operator port] dest_address mask
[operator port | icmp_type] [inactive]
Enter the access list name in upper case letters so the name is easy to see in the configuration. You might

want to name the access list for the interface (for example, INSIDE), or for the purpose for which it is
created (for example, NO_NAT or VPN).
