Configuring an IPv6 ACL
48
The third condition permits all packets containing source and destination addresses that are not
explicitly denied by the first two. Without this entry, the ACL would deny all incoming IPv6 traffic on
the ports to which you assign the ACL.
A show running-config command displays the following.
A show ipv6 access-list command displays the following.
The following commands apply the ACL “rtr” to the incoming traffic on ports 2/1 and 2/2.
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.
• 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.
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
statement in the access-list if you want to permit IPv6 traffic that were not denied by the
previous statements.
The conditions are applied in the order shown above, with deny ipv6 any any as the last condition
applied.
