Command History
Usage Guidelines Use IPv6 ACLs to filter IPv6 traffic.
When you use the ipv6 access-list command, the switch enters IP access list configuration mode, where 
you can use the IPv6 deny and permit commands to configure rules for the ACL. If the specified ACL 
does not exist, the switch creates it when you enter this command.
Every IPv6 ACL has the following implicit rule as its last rule:
deny ipv6 any any 
This implicit rule ensures that the switch denies unmatched IP traffic.
Examples This example shows how to enter IP access list configuration mode for an IPv6 ACL named ipv6-acl-01:
switch(config)# ipv6 access-list ipv6-acl-01 
switch(config-ipv6-acl)# 
Related Commands
