Configuring ACLs

About ACLs

An access control list (ACL) is a set of rules for identifying traffic based on criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, and port number. The rules are also called permit or deny statements.

ACLs are primarily used for packet filtering. You can also use ACLs in QoS, security, routing, and other modules for identifying traffic. The packet drop or forwarding decisions depend on the modules that use ACLs.

Numbering and naming ACLs

When creating an ACL, you must assign it a number or name for identification. You can specify an existing ACL by its number or name. Each ACL type has a unique range of ACL numbers.

For basic or advanced ACLs with the same number, you must use the ipv6 keyword to distinguish them. For ACLs with the same name, you must use the ipv6, mac, and wlan keywords to distinguish them.

Layer 2 header fields, such as source and destination MAC addresses, 802.1p priority, and link layer protocol type.

Match order

The rules in an ACL are sorted in a specific order. When a packet matches a rule, the device stops the match process and performs the action defined in the rule. If an ACL contains overlapping or conflicting rules, the matching result and action to take depend on the rule order.

The following ACL match orders are available:

·     config—Sorts ACL rules in ascending order of rule ID. A rule with a lower ID is matched before a rule with a higher ID. If you use this method, check the rules and their order carefully.

 

 

NOTE:

The match order of WLAN client ACLs can only be config.

·     auto—Sorts ACL rules in depth-first order. Depth-first ordering makes sure any subset of a rule is always matched before the rule. Table 1 lists the sequence of tie breakers that depth-first ordering uses to sort rules for each type of ACL.

Table 1 Sort ACL rules in depth-first order

ACL type

Sequence of tie breakers

IPv4 basic ACL

1.     More 0s in the source IPv4 address wildcard (more 0s means a narrower IPv4 address range).

2.     Rule configured earlier.

IPv4 advanced ACL

1.     Specific protocol number.

2.     More 0s in the source IPv4 address wildcard mask.

3.     More 0s in the destination IPv4 address wildcard.

4.     Narrower TCP/UDP service port number range.

5.     Rule configured earlier.

IPv6 basic ACL

1.     Longer prefix for the source IPv6 address (a longer prefix means a narrower IPv6 address range).

2.     Rule configured earlier.

IPv6 advanced ACL

1.     Specific protocol number.

2.     Longer prefix for the source IPv6 address.

3.     Longer prefix for the destination IPv6 address.

4.     Narrower TCP/UDP service port number range.

5.     Rule configured earlier.

Layer 2 ACL

1.     More 1s in the source MAC address mask (more 1s means a smaller MAC address).

2.     More 1s in the destination MAC address mask.

3.     Rule configured earlier.

A wildcard mask, also called an inverse mask, is a 32-bit binary number represented in dotted decimal notation. In contrast to a network mask, the 0 bits in a wildcard mask represent "do care" bits, and the 1 bits represent "don't care" bits. If the "do care" bits in an IP address are identical to the "do care" bits in an IP address criterion, the IP address matches the criterion. All "don't care" bits are ignored. The 0s and 1s in a wildcard mask can be noncontiguous. For example, 0.255.0.255 is a valid wildcard mask.

Rule numbering

ACL rules can be manually numbered or automatically numbered. This section describes how automatic ACL rule numbering works.

Rule numbering step

If you do not assign an ID to the rule you are creating, the system automatically assigns it a rule ID. The rule numbering step sets the increment by which the system automatically numbers rules. For example, the default ACL rule numbering step is 5. If you do not assign IDs to rules you are creating, they are automatically numbered 0, 5, 10, 15, and so on. The wider the numbering step, the more rules you can insert between two rules.

By introducing a gap between rules rather than contiguously numbering rules, you have the flexibility of inserting rules in an ACL. This feature is important for a config-order ACL, where ACL rules are matched in ascending order of rule ID.

The rule numbering step sets the increment by which the system numbers rules automatically. If you do not specify a rule ID when creating an ACL rule, the system automatically assigns it a rule ID. This rule ID is the nearest higher multiple of the numbering step to the current highest rule ID, starting from the start rule ID. For example, if the rule numbering step is 5 and the current highest rule ID is 12, the rule is numbered 15.

The wider the numbering step, the more rules you can insert between two rules. Whenever the step or start rule ID changes, the rules are renumbered, starting from the start rule ID. For example, if there are five rules numbered 0, 5, 9, 10, and 15, changing the step from 5 to 2 causes the rules to be renumbered 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Automatic rule numbering and renumbering

The ID automatically assigned to an ACL rule takes the nearest higher multiple of the numbering step to the current highest rule ID, starting with 0.

For example, if the step is 5, and there are five rules numbered 0, 5, 9, 10, and 12, the newly defined rule is numbered 15. If the ACL does not contain a rule, the first rule is numbered 0.

Whenever the step changes, the rules are renumbered, starting from 0. For example, changing the step from 5 to 2 renumbers rules 5, 10, 13, and 15 as rules 0, 2, 4, and 6.

Fragment filtering with ACLs

Traditional packet filtering matches only first fragments of packets, and allows all subsequent non-first fragments to pass through. Attackers can fabricate non-first fragments to attack networks.

To avoid risks, the ACL feature is designed as follows:

·     Filters all fragments by default, including non-first fragments.

·     Allows for matching criteria modification for efficiency. For example, you can configure the ACL to filter only non-first fragments.

Restrictions and guidelines: ACL configuration

·     If you create a numbered non-WLAN ACL, you can enter the view of the ACL by using the following commands:

¡     acl [ ipv6 ] number acl-number

¡     acl { [ ipv6 ] { advanced | basic } | mac } acl-number

·     If you create an ACL by specifying both a number and a name, you can enter the view of the ACL by using the following commands:

¡     acl [ ipv6 ] number acl-number (only for basic and advanced ACLs)

¡     acl [ ipv6 ] number acl-number [ name acl-name ]

¡     acl { [ ipv6 ] { advanced | basic } | mac } name acl-name

·     If you create a named non-WLAN ACL by using the acl { [ ipv6 ] { advanced | basic } | mac } name acl-name command, you can enter the view of the ACL by using the following commands:

¡     acl [ ipv6 ] name acl-name

¡     acl { [ ipv6 ] { advanced | basic } | mac } name acl-name

·     If you create a numbered WLAN ACL, you can enter the view of the ACL by using only the acl wlan client acl-number command.

·     If you create a named WLAN ACL, you can enter the view of the ACL by using only the acl wlan client name acl-name command.

·     Matching packets are forwarded through slow forwarding if an ACL rule contains match criteria or has functions enabled in addition to the following match criteria and functions:

¡     Source and destination IP addresses.

¡     Source and destination ports.

¡     Transport layer protocol.

¡     ICMP or ICMPv6 message type, message code, and message name.

¡     Logging.

¡     Time range.

Slow forwarding requires packets to be sent to the control plane for forwarding entry calculation, which affects the device forwarding performance.

2.     Copy an existing ACL to create a new ACL.

acl [ ipv6 | mac ] copy { source-acl-number | name source-acl-name } to { dest-acl-number | name dest-acl-name }

Configuring packet filtering with ACLs

About packet filtering with ACLs

This section describes procedures for using an ACL to filtering packets. For example, you can apply an ACL to an interface to filter incoming or outgoing packets.

Applying an ACL to an interface for packet filtering

Restrictions and guidelines

You can apply a maximum of 32 ACLs to the same direction of an interface.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Apply an ACL to the interface to filter packets.

packet-filter [ ipv6 | mac ] { acl-number | name acl-name } { inbound | outbound }

By default, an interface does not filter packets.

Applying an ACL to a service template for packet filtering

Restrictions and guidelines

You can apply only one ACL to the same direction of a service template.

You can apply an ACL to a service template only when the service template is disabled.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter service template view.

wlan service-template service-template-name

3.     Apply an ACL to the service template to filter packets.

packet-filter [ ipv6 ] { acl-number | name acl-name } { inbound | outbound }

By default, no ACL is applied to a a service template.

Configuring logging and SNMP notifications for packet filtering

About this task

You can configure the ACL module to generate log entries or SNMP notifications for packet filtering and output them to the information center or SNMP module at the output interval. The log entry or notification records the number of matching packets and the matched ACL rules. When the first packet of a flow matches an ACL rule, the output interval starts, and the device immediately outputs a log entry or notification for this packet. When the output interval ends, the device outputs a log entry or notification for subsequent matching packets of the flow.

For more information about the information center, see Network Connectivity Configuration Guide.

For more information about SNMP, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set the interval for outputting packet filtering logs or notifications.

acl { logging | trap } interval interval

The default setting is 0 minutes. By default, the device does not generate log entries or SNMP notifications for packet filtering.

Setting the packet filtering default action

About this task

By default, the packet filter permits packets that do not match any ACL rule to pass. Perform this task to deny packets that do not match any ACL rule.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set the packet filtering default action to deny.

packet-filter default deny

By default, the packet filter permits packets that do not match any ACL rule to pass.

Display and maintenance commands for ACL
