All Cisco routers and switches cannot be accessed remotely via a terminal program like PuTTy and Tera Term by default. There are two methods of remote connectivity, either vty connection or SSH connection. The SSH provides encrypted connectivity, and Cisco recommends it for remote administration. But, if your router’s Cisco IOS does not support SSH,… Read more

After ACL has configured and applied to an interface and block some traffic then we can check the ACL statistics using the show access-lists command. The command will show ACL statistics for each statement that has been matched. The figure below illustrates some configured ACL statistics. Examine that some match has been found. So when traffic is
How to Edit Standard ACLs Network administrators sometimes want to edit standard ACLs. As you know, each new entry you add to the Access Control List (ACL) appears at the bottom of the list, and the router assigns a sequence number to that entry automatically. Standard ACL statements are added to running-config files, but there
Standard ACLs permit or deny traffic based on source addresses. They differentiate routes on a network using the IP address. The port and destination of the packet are not evaluated. Standard ACLs only contain a list of addresses or address ranges and a statement as to whether access to or from that address is permitted
Are you often puzzled by the differences between standard and extended access lists? You’re not alone. Understanding these two types of access lists is crucial for network security management. In this article, we dive deep into the world of access lists to unravel the secrets behind their functionalities. As the name suggests, standard access lists
Create an ACLs and configuration is not an easy task. There may be multiple policies required to create an ACLs and Its management. Suppose we have a router with two interfaces. Both interfaces configured with IPv4 and IPv6. If we required ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6, on both interfaces and in both directions (inbound
ACLs Wildcard Mask is a string of 32 binary digits used by the router to determine which bits of the address to examine for a match. We use wildcard masking in several places, for example, To indicate the size of a network or subnet for some routing protocols, such as OSPF. The IPv6 ACLs use
There are many different IPv4 ACL types, for example, access control lists for IP version 4, IP version 6, IPX, DECnet, AppleTalk, etc. In this lesson, we are going to discuss IPv4 ACLs for Cisco. IPv4 ACLs have two types: a standard access list and an extended access list. Standard access-list Standard access lists permit
As I discussed the Access Control List (ACL) in my previous articles that it is a technique used for monitoring outgoing traffic as well as incoming traffic and allowing them to pass or deny based on the source IP address, destination IP addresses, service protocols and ports. The rules give control to packets that enter
An Access Control List (ACL) refers to a set of rules usually used to filter network traffic. The rules specify which users are granted access to that object and the operations it is allowed to perform. We can configure the Access Control List (ACL) on network devices with packet filtering compatibilities, such as routers and firewalls.
