permit icmp (IPv4)
• Address and network wildcard—You can use an IPv4 address followed by a network wildcard to
specify a host or a network as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:
IPv4-address network-wildcard
This example shows how to specify the source argument with the IPv4 address and network wildcard
for the 192.168.67.0 subnet:
switch(config-acl)# permit icmp 192.168.67.0 0.0.0.255 any
• Address and variable-length subnet mask—You can use an IPv4 address followed by a
variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) to specify a host or a network as a source or destination. The
syntax is as follows:
IPv4-address/prefix-len
This example shows how to specify the source argument with the IPv4 address and VLSM for the
192.168.67.0 subnet:
switch(config-acl)# permit icmp 192.168.67.0/24 any
• Host address—You can use the host keyword and an IPv4 address to specify a host as a source or
destination. The syntax is as follows:
host IPv4-address
This syntax is equivalent to IPv4-address/32 and IPv4-address 0.0.0.0.
This example shows how to specify the source argument with the host keyword and the
192.168.67.132 IPv4 address:
switch(config-acl)# permit icmp host 192.168.67.132 any
• Any address—You can use the any keyword to specify that a source or destination is any IPv4
address. For examples of the use of the any keyword, see the examples in this section. Each example
shows how to specify a source or destination by using the any keyword.
