128 | Access Control Lists (ACLs)

To apply ACLs on loopback, use the ip access-group command in the INTERFACE mode as shown in the 
example below. This example also shows the interface configuration status, adding rules to the access 
group, and displaying the list of rules in the ACL:
FTOS(conf)#interface loopback 0
FTOS(conf-if-lo-0)#ip access-group abcd in
FTOS(conf-if-lo-0)#show config 
!
interface Loopback 0
 no ip address
 ip access-group abcd in
 no shutdown
FTOS(conf-if-lo-0)#end
FTOS#configure terminal
FTOS(conf)#ip access-list extended abcd
FTOS(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp any any
FTOS(config-ext-nacl)#deny icmp any any
FTOS(config-ext-nacl)#permit 1.1.1.2
FTOS(config-ext-nacl)#end
FTOS#show ip accounting access-list 
!
Extended Ingress IP access list abcd on Loopback 0
seq 5 permit tcp any any
seq 10 deny icmp any any
seq 10 deny icmp any any
permit 1.1.1.2
IP Prefix Lists
Prefix Lists are supported on platforms: c e s
IP prefix lists control routing policy. An IP prefix list is a series of sequential filters that contain a matching 
criterion (examine IP route prefix) and an action (permit or deny) to process routes. The filters are 
processed in sequence so that if a route prefix does not match the criterion in the first filter, the second 
filter (if configured) is applied. When the route prefix matches a filter, FTOS drops or forwards the packet 
based on the filter’s designated action. If the route prefix does not match any of the filters in the prefix list, 
the route is dropped (that is, implicit deny).
A route prefix is an IP address pattern that matches on bits within the IP address. The format of a route 
prefix is A.B.C.D/X where A.B.C.D is a dotted-decimal address and /X is the number of bits that should be 
matched of the dotted decimal address. For example, in 112.24.0.0/16, the first 16 bits of the address 
112.24.0.0 match all addresses between 112.24.0.0 to 112.24.255.255.
Below are some examples that permit or deny filters for specific routes using the 
le and ge parameters, 
where x.x.x.x/x represents a route prefix:
