CHAPTER 51
Configuring IPv4 Access Control Lists
Access control lists (ACLs) perform packet filtering to control which packets move through the network
and where. Such control provides security by helping to limit network traffic, restrict the access of users and
devices to the network, and prevent traffic from leaving a network. IP access lists can reduce the chance of
spoofing and denial-of-service attacks and allow dynamic, temporary user access through a firewall.
IP access lists can also be used for purposes other than security, such as bandwidth control, restricting the
content of routing updates, redistributing routes, triggering dial-on-demand (DDR) calls, limiting debug
output, and identifying or classifying traffic for quality of service (QoS) features. This module provides an
overview of IP access lists.
