Creating an IPv6 ACL
TABLE 287 Syntax descriptions
IPv6 ACL arguments Description
ipv6 access-list <ACL name> Enables the IPv6 configuration level and defines the name of the IPv6 ACL.
The <ACL name> can contain up to 199 characters and numbers, but
cannot begin with a number and cannot contain any spaces or quotation
marks.
permit The ACL will permit (forward) packets that match a policy in the access list.
deny The ACL will deny (drop) packets that match a policy in the access list.
icmp Indicates the you are filtering ICMP packets.
protocol The type of IPv6 packet you are filtering. You can specify a well-known name
for some protocols whose number is less than 255. For other protocols, you
must enter the number. Enter “?” instead of a protocol to list the well-known
names recognized by the CLI. IPv6 protocols include
AHP – Authentication Header
ESP – Encapsulating Security Payload
IPv6 – Internet Protocol version 6
SCTP – Stream Control Transmission Protocol
<ipv6-source-prefix>/<prefix-length
>
The <ipv6-source-prefix>/<prefix-length> parameter specify a source prefix
and prefix length that a packet must match for the specified action (deny or
permit) to occur. You must specify the <ipv6-source-prefix> parameter in
hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC
2373. You must specify the <prefix-length> parameter as a decimal value. A
slash mark (/) must follow the <ipv6-prefix> parameter and precede the
<prefix-length> parameter.
<ipv6-destination-prefix>/<prefix-le
ngth>
The <ipv6-destination-prefix>/<prefix-length> parameter specify a
destination prefix and prefix length that a packet must match for the
specified action (deny or permit) to occur. You must specify the
<ipv6-destination-prefix> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values
between colons as documented in RFC 2373. You must specify the
<prefix-length> parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow
the <ipv6-prefix> parameter and precede the <prefix-length> parameter
any When specified instead of the <ipv6-source-prefix>/<prefix-length> or
<ipv6-destination-prefix>/<prefix-length> parameters, matches any IPv6
prefix and is equivalent to the IPv6 prefix::/0.
host Allows you specify a host IPv6 address. When you use this parameter, you do
not need to specify the prefix length. A prefix length of all128 is implied.
icmp-type ICMP packets can be filtered by ICMP message type. The type is a number
from 0 to 255.
icmp code ICMP packets, which are filtered by ICMP message type can also be filtered
by the ICMP message code. The code is a number from 0 to 255,
icmp-message ICMP packets are filtered by ICMP messages. Refer to “ICMP message
configurations” on page 1766 for a list of ICMP message types.
tcp Indicates the you are filtering TCP packets.
udp Indicates the you are filtering UDP packets.
