What is reflexive ACL firewall?
Reflexive access lists allow IP packets to be filtered based on upper-layer session information. You can use reflexive access lists to permit IP traffic for sessions originating from within your network but to deny IP traffic for sessions originating from outside your network.
Do firewalls use ACL?
ACLs are common in routers or firewalls, but they can also configure them in any device that runs in the network, from hosts, network devices, servers, etc.
What field can a standard ACL filter on?

Which type of ACL is used to protect the router itself?

What is the advantage of using firewall over ACL?
A firewall has one main use and purpose and that is to examine traffic passing through a part of the network and make decisions about what to let through and what to block. ACLs do stateless inspection, which means that the access list looks at a packet and has no knowledge of what has come before it.
What are the advantages of using a reflexive ACL?
Advantages of Reflexive ACLs. Reflexive ACLs have the following advantages: Network Administrators use reflexive ACLs to secure against network hackers, and can be included in a firewall defence. * It is Simple to use and, compared to basic ACLs, provide greater control over which packets enter your network.
How to use reflexive ACL in R2 router?
R2 will be the router where the Reflexive ACL has to be implemented. The implementation is quite simple. You configure an outbound access-list which permit tcp sessions from any subnet to any subnet.
Why do we need reflexive access list in firewall?
Reflexive access-list are one of the method that help us achive firewall functionality with a router hardware. The other methods that serve to the same purpose are Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) and TCP Intercept.
When to use a reflexive ACL in UDP?
Reflexive ACLs are used to provide a firmer form of session filtering than an extended ACL that uses the established parameter. Reflexive ACLs also work for UDP and ICMP, which have no ACK or RST bits.
