IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs)
Configuring Extended ACLs
 SA Mask Application: The mask is applied to the SA in the 
ACL to define which bits in a packet’s source SA must exactly 
match the address configured in the ACL and which bits need 
not match. 
Example: 10.10.10.1/24 and 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.255 both 
define any IPv4 address in the range of 10.10.10.(1-255).
Note: Specifying a group of contiguous IPv4 addresses may 
require more than one ACE. For more on how masks operate 
in ACLs, refer to “How an ACE Uses a Mask To Screen Packets 
for Matches” on page 10-35.
< any | host < DA > | DA/mask-length >
This is the second instance  of addressing in an extended 
ACE. It follows the first (SA) instance, described earlier, 
and defines the destination address (DA) that a packet must 
carry in order to have a match with the ACE. The options 
are the same as shown for < SA >.
• any — Allows routed IPv4 packets to any DA.
• host < DA > — Specifies only the packets having DA as the 
destination address. Use this criterion when you want 
to match only the IPv4 packets for a single DA.
• DA/mask-length or DA < mask > — Specifies packets 
intended for a destination address, where the address is 
either a subnet or a group of IPv4 addresses. The mask 
format can be in either dotted-decimal format or CIDR 
format (number of significant bits). Refer to “Using 
CIDR Notation To Enter the IPv4 ACL Mask” on page 
10-49. 
DA Mask Application: The mask is applied to the DA in 
the ACL to define which bits in a packet’s DA must exactly 
match the DA configured in the ACL and which bits need 
not match. See also the above example and note.
