Applying the ACL to an Interface or Terminal Line
After you create an ACL, you can apply it to one or more interfaces or terminal lines. ACLs can be
applied on inbound interfaces. This section describes how to accomplish this task for both terminal lines
and network interfaces. Note these guidelines:
• When controlling access to a line, you must use a number. Numbered ACLs and MAC extended
ACLs can be applied to lines.
• When controlling access to an interface, you can use a name or number.
• Set identical restrictions on all the virtual terminal lines because a user can attempt to connect to
any of them.
• If you apply an ACL to a Layer-3 interface, the ACL only filters packets that are intended for the
CPU, such as SNMP, Telnet or Web traffic.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to restrict incoming connections between a
virtual terminal line and the addresses in an ACL:
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to control access to a Layer 2 or Layer 3
interface:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
line [console | vty] line-number Identify a specific line for configuration, and enter in-line configuration
mode.
Enter console for the console terminal line. The console port is DCE.
Enter vty for a virtual terminal for remote console access.
The line-number is the first line number in a contiguous group that you want
to configure when the line type is specified. The range is from 0 to 16.
Step 3
access-class access-list-number {in} Restrict incoming and outgoing connections between a particular virtual
terminal line (into a device) and the addresses in an access list.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config Display the access list configuration.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Identify a specific interface for configuration and enter interface
configuration mode.
The interface must be a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface or a management
interface VLAN ID.
Step 3
ip access-group {access-list-number |
name}{in}
Control access to the specified interface.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
