IPv6 Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Terminology

Terminology

Access Control Entry (ACE):

A policy consisting of criteria and an action

(permit or deny) to execute on a packet if it meets the criteria. For IPv6
ACEs, the elements composing the criteria include:

source IPv6 address and prefix length

destination IPv6 address and prefix length

either of the following:

all IPv6 traffic

IPv6 traffic of a specific IPv6 protocol (For TCP, UDP, and ICMP,
the criteria can include either a specific sub-type within the
protocol or all traffic of the protocol type.)

option to log packet matches with

deny ACEs

optional use of DSCP (precedence and ToS settings)

Access Control List (ACL):

A list (or set) consisting of one or more

explicitly configured Access Control Entries (ACEs) and terminating with
an implicit

deny ipv6 any any ACE. Each ACE in an IPv6 ACL includes layer­

3 IPv6 source and destination criteria and IPv6 protocol-specific criteria.
IPv6 ACLs can be applied in any of the following ways:

VACL: an ACL assigned to filter inbound IPv6 traffic on a specific
VLAN configured on the switch

Static Port ACL: an ACL assigned to filter inbound IPv6 traffic on a
specific switch port

RADIUS-Assigned ACL: dynamic ACL assigned to a port by a RADIUS
server to filter inbound IPv4 and IPv6 traffic from an authenticated
client on that port (Refer to the chapter titled “Configuring RADIUS
Server Support for Switch Services” in the latest Access Security
Guide

for your switch.)

Static ACLs are configured in switch memory with an alphanumeric name,
and can be assigned to a VLAN as a VACL, and to a port list (or static
trunk). (RADIUS-assigned ACLs are configured on a RADIUS server, and
are identified by the associated client credentials instead of an alphanu­
meric name.)
