Reflexive ACL

set security spi ip6 allow-inbound [ on | off ]

Turns reflexive ACL on or off for IPv6.

Reflexive Access Control Lists (ACL) provide that layer 4 Session information is used to make decisions about
what packets to route. Reflexive ACL reduces exposure to spoofing and denial-of-service attacks, because
desired inbound packet flows are usually in response to outbound traffic.

Motorola 9.x DSL Gateways use the relevant session information about whether the packet flow was initiated
from the LAN side (upstream) or WAN side (downstream). If the parameter security.

spi.ip6.allow-inbound

is

set to

off

, then sessions which are initiated from the WAN side are disallowed. Upstream sessions are never

precluded because of reflexive ACL. (Of course there may be other reasons that particular packets are
dropped.)

For IPv4, NAT is generally enabled, so reflexive ACL is usually not an issue.

set security spi ip6 lan-assigned-src-addr-from-wan-drop [ off | on ]

Drop IPv6 packets from WAN with source address derived from LAN. Default is on.

set security spi ip6 ula-drop [ off | on ]
