Chapter 35 Configuring IPv6 ACLs
Configuring IPv6 ACLs
If a new switch takes over as stack master, it distributes the ACL configuration to all stack members. The
member switches sync up the configuration distributed by the new stack master and flush out entries that
are not required.
When an ACL is modified, attached to, or detached from an interface, the stack master distributes the
change to all stack members.
Configuring IPv6 ACLs
Before configuring IPv6 ACLs, you must select one of the dual IPv4 and IPv6 SDM templates.
To filter IPv6 traffic, you perform these steps:
Step 1
Create an IPv6 ACL, and enter IPv6 access list configuration mode.
Step 2
Configure the IPv6 ACL to block (deny) or pass (permit) traffic.
Step 3
Apply the IPv6 ACL to an interface. For router ACLs, you must also configure an IPv6 address on the
Layer 3 interface to which the ACL is applied.
These sections describe how to configure and apply IPv6 ACLs:
•
Default IPv6 ACL Configuration, page 35-4
•
Interaction with Other Features and Switches, page 35-4
•

Default IPv6 ACL Configuration
There are no IPv6 ACLs configured or applied.
Interaction with Other Features and Switches
Configuring IPv6 ACLs has these interactions with other features or switch characteristics:
•
If an IPv6 router ACL is configured to deny a packet, the packet is not routed. A copy of the packet
is sent to the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) queue to generate an ICMP unreachable
message for the frame.
•
If a bridged frame is to be dropped due to a port ACL, the frame is not bridged.
•
You can create both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs on a switch or switch stack, and you can apply both IPv4
and IPv6 ACLs to the same interface. Each ACL must have a unique name; an error message appears
if you try to use a name that is already configured.
You use different commands to create IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and to attach IPv4 or IPv6 ACLs to the
same Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface. If you use the wrong command to attach an ACL (for example,
an IPv4 command to attach an IPv6 ACL), you receive an error message.
