Chapter 34 Configuring Network Security with ACLs
Understanding ACLs
As with port ACLs, the switch examines ACLs associated with features configured on a given interface.
However, router ACLs are supported in both directions. As packets enter the switch on an interface,
ACLs associated with all inbound features configured on that interface are examined. After packets are
routed and before they are forwarded to the next hop, all ACLs associated with outbound features
configured on the egress interface are examined.

ACLs permit or deny packet forwarding based on how the packet matches the entries in the ACL, and
can be used to control access to a network or to part of a network. In

VLAN Maps
Use VLAN ACLs or VLAN maps to access-control all traffic. You can apply VLAN maps to all packets
that are routed into or out of a VLAN or are bridged within a VLAN in the switch or switch stack.
that are routed into or out of a VLAN or are bridged within a VLAN in the switch or switch stack.
Use VLAN maps for security packet filtering. VLAN maps are not defined by direction (input or output).
You can configure VLAN maps to match Layer 3 addresses for IPv4 traffic.
All non-IP protocols are access-controlled through MAC addresses and Ethertype using MAC VLAN
maps. (IP traffic is not access controlled by MAC VLAN maps.) You can enforce VLAN maps only on
packets going through the switch; you cannot enforce VLAN maps on traffic between hosts on a hub or
on another switch connected to this switch.

With VLAN maps, forwarding of packets is permitted or denied, based on the action specified in the

VLAN 10 from being forwarded. You can apply only one VLAN map to a VLAN.

Using VLAN Maps to Control Traffic
Handling Fragmented and Unfragmented Traffic
IP packets can be fragmented as they cross the network. When this happens, only the fragment
containing the beginning of the packet contains the Layer 4 information, such as TCP or UDP port
numbers, ICMP type and code, and so on. All other fragments are missing this information.
