ip access-group
You cannot apply an IP ACL to a Layer 3 interface on a switch that has a Layer 2 interface with an
applied IP ACL or MAC ACL, and you cannot apply a VLAN map to any of the switch VLANs.
You cannot apply an IP ACL or MAC ACL to a Layer 2 interface on a switch that has an input Layer 3
ACL or a VLAN map applied to it.
For standard inbound access lists, after the switch receives a packet, it checks the source address of the
packet against the access list. IP extended access lists can optionally check other fields in the packet,
such as the destination IP address, protocol type, or port numbers. If the access list permits the packet,
the switch continues to process the packet. If the access list denies the packet, the switch discards the
packet. If the access list has been applied to a Layer 3 interface, discarding a packet (by default) causes
the generation of an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Host Unreachable message. ICMP Host
Unreachable messages are not generated for packets discarded on a Layer 2 interface.
For standard outbound access lists, after receiving a packet and sending it to a controlled interface, the
switch checks the packet against the access list. If the access list permits the packet, the switch sends the
packet. If the access list denies the packet, the switch discards the packet and, by default, generates an
ICMP Host Unreachable message.
If the specified access list does not exist, all packets are passed.
Examples This example shows how to apply IP access list 101 to inbound packets on an interface:
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip access-group 101 in
You can verify your settings by entering the show ip interface, show access-lists, or show ip
access-lists privileged EXEC command.
