How do you block ping with ACL?

Block icmp or ping using extended acl : a cisco packet tracer lab

1. Step 1:Configure IP Address on routers.
2. Step2: Configure Routing on Both Routers.
3. Step3: Configure Telnet on Router R1:
4. Step4:Now Configure Extended ACL on router R1 so that it will block ping packets but allow others.

How do Cisco standard ACLs filter traffic?

In order to filter network traffic, ACLs control whether routed packets are forwarded or blocked at the router interface. Your router examines each packet in order to determine whether to forward or drop the packet based on the criteria that you specify within the ACL.

How does an outbound ACL works?

Outbound ACLs filter the traffic after the router makes forward decision. An ACL filter condition has to two actions; permit and deny. We can permit certain types of traffic while blocking rest or we can block certain types of traffic while allowing rest.

What extended ACL?

Extended Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow you to permit or deny traffic from specific IP addresses to a specific destination IP address and port. It also allows you to specify different types of traffic such as ICMP, TCP, UDP, etc. Needless to say, it is very granular and allows you to be very specific.

What is the ping port number?

Ping Uses ICMP Type 8 and Type 0 So there is no specific port number for the ping command. But the ICMP types Type 8 (Echo Message) and Type 0 (Echo Reply Message) are used for ping operation. The sender or pinger creates an ICMP packet with type 8 which requests the remote system to return an ICMP reply.

Where is the best placement for the standard ACL?

Standard Access Control List (ACL) filters the traffic based on source IP address. Therefore a Standard Access Control List (ACL) must be placed on the router which is near to the destination network/host where it is denied.

What is the best practice location for a standard ACL?

Place standard ACLs close to the destination IP address of the traffic. Place standard ACLs close to the source IP address of the traffic. Filter unwanted traffic before it travels onto a low-bandwidth link. Place extended ACLs close to the destination IP address of the traffic.

How do you know if ACL is applied?

1. Use the show ip interface command to verify that the ACL is applied to the correct interface.
2. The output will display the name of the access list and the direction in which it was applied to the interface.
3. Use the show access-lists command to display the access-lists configured on the router.

What is the difference between inbound and outbound ACL?

any packet coming to the router is considered as inbound. any packet going out of the router is considered as outbound. any packet entering to interface is considered as inbound by ACL. any packet leaving out of interface is considered as outbound by ACL.

What does an extended ACL do that a standard ACL does not?

Unlike a standard ACL, the extended ACL provides much more flexibility in matching traffic as it provides the ability to match based on protocol, source and destination address as well as several other features like matching based on an established connection.

Can a ACL be applied to an outbound interface?

ACLs applied outbound to interface cannot be used to filter traffic the router itself generates. So, if you telnet from router 1 to router 2, and have ACL applied outbound on router 1, the interface will not filter that traffic. Even Ping or traceroute won’t be filtered. Anything that passes through, yes, but not what the router itself generates.

Why are ACLs used to block traffic destined for the target?

Your problem is that the ACL is after one of the targets. Also, such an outbound ACL will actually route traffic that is destined to be dropped. If you place inbound ACLs, then the traffic will be dropped before resources are used to route the traffic.

Do you need ACL to block / allow pings?

U allow telnet from Mngt box to DSL router, no need to block ICMP again though u can. then permint all IP traffic. if u need to block ICMP from WAN, u need AN ACL on WAN. 06-15-2009 04:07 PM 06-15-2009 04:07 PM Thanks for your reply Cisco LAD.

Why are ACLS not used in Layer 3?

The problem is that the layer 3 switch has a management interface (172.16.10.1) which any VLANs can access, because the traffic will enter through the SVI interface corresponding to the source VLAN and it will remain in the switch. It will not get a chance to be filtered by the ACL which resides at the exit of the VLAN 10 SVI.
