Implementing Traffic Filters for IPv6 Security

Last Updated: August 1, 2012

This module describes how to configure Cisco IOS XE IPv6 traffic filter and firewall features for your Cisco networking devices. These security features can protect your network from degradation or failure and also from data loss or compromised security resulting from intentional attacks and from unintended but damaging mistakes by well-meaning network users.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

Restrictions for Implementing Traffic Filters for IPv6 Security

  • In Cisco IOS XE software, the standard IPv6 access control list (ACL) functionality is extended to support traffic filtering based on IPv6 option headers and optional, upper-layer protocol type information for finer granularity of control (functionality similar to extended ACLs in IPv4).
  • The IPv6 Template ACL feature applies only to virtual access interfaces and sessions with ACLs defined using RADIUS. ACLs on vty interfaces or named ACLs on physical interfaces are not supported by this feature.
  • The IPv6 Template ACL feature supports vendor-specific attribute (VSA) Cisco AV-pairs only. It does not support the Attribute 242 ACL.

Information About Implementing Traffic Filters for IPv6 Security

Access Control Lists for IPv6 Traffic Filtering

The standard ACL functionality in IPv6 is similar to standard ACLs in IPv4. Access lists determine what traffic is blocked and what traffic is forwarded at router interfaces and allow filtering based on source and destination addresses, inbound and outbound to a specific interface. Each access list has an implicit deny statement at the end. IPv6 ACLs are defined and their deny and permit conditions are set using the ipv6 access-list command with the deny and permit keywords in global configuration mode.

Named and tagged ACLs are both supported in IPv6:

  • A named ACL consists of one or more access control entry (ACE) and is defined on the Intelligent Service Gateway (ISG) router by name.
  • A name for a tagged ACL is dynamically created by the AAA when the ACL is applied. These ACEs are defined on the RADIUS.

IPv6 Packet Inspection

The following header fields are all used for IPv6 inspection--traffic class, flow label, payload length, next header, hop limit, and source or destination address. For further information on and descriptions of the IPv6 header fields, see RFC 2474.

Tunneling Support

IPv6 packets tunneled in IPv4 are not inspected. If a tunnel terminates on a router, and IPv6 traffic exiting the tunnel is nonterminating, then the traffic is inspected.

Virtual Fragmentation Reassembly

When virtual fragmentation reassembly (VFR) is enabled, VFR processing begins after ACL input lists are checked against incoming packets. The incoming packets are tagged with the appropriate VFR information.

Access Class Filtering in IPv6

Filtering incoming and outgoing connections to and from the router based on an IPv6 ACL is performed using the ipv6 access-class command in line configuration mode. The ipv6 access-class command is similar to the access-class command, except the IPv6 ACLs are defined by a name. If the IPv6 ACL is applied to inbound traffic, the source address in the ACL is matched against the incoming connection source address and the destination address in the ACL is matched against the local router address on the interface. If the IPv6 ACL is applied to outbound traffic, the source address in the ACL is matched against the local router address on the interface and the destination address in the ACL is matched against the outgoing connection source address. We recommend that identical restrictions are set on all the virtual terminal lines because a user can attempt to connect to any of them.

IPv6 Template ACL

When user profiles are configured using vendor-specific attribute (VSA) Cisco AV-pairs, similar per-user IPv6 ACLs may be replaced by a single template ACL. That is, one ACL represents many similar ACLs. By using IPv6 template ACLs, you can increase the total number of per-user ACLs while minimizing the memory and Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) resources needed to support the ACLs.

The IPv6 Template ACL feature can create templates using the following ACL fields:

  • IPv6 source and destination addresses
  • TCP and UDP, including all associated ports (0 through 65535)
  • ICMP neighbor discovery advertisements and solicitations
  • IPv6 DSCP with specified DSCP values

ACL names are dynamically generated by this feature; for example:

  • 6Temp_#152875854573--Example of a dynamically generated template name for a template ACL parent
  • Virtual-Access2.32135#152875854573--Example of a child ACL or an ACL that has not yet been made part of a template.

SSO ISSU Support for Per-User IPv6 ACL for PPP Sessions

The SSO/ISSU Support for per-User IPv6 ACL for PPP Sessions feature reproduces IPv6 ACLs on the active Route Processor to the standby RP and provides a consistent stateful switchover and in-service software upgrade experience for active sessions. The feature also extends the ability to maintain Template ACLs (IPv6 only or dual stack) through ISSU and SSO.

Both named and tagged ACLs can be configured and applied in the following ways:

  • Virtual-template ACL:
    • Virtual-template ACLs (also called interface ACLs) are configured under a virtual-template definition on the ISG router.
    • Only named ACLs can be configured under a virtual-template definition. Named ACLs applied to virtual templates get cloned to all virtual access interfaces created using that virtual-template definition.
  • Per-user ACLs are always applied through RADIUS:
    • User profile--The ACL is configured in the user profile on RADIUS and is applied when the session is up.
    • Change of Authorization (CoA) per-user push--The ACL is applied through a RADIUS CoA push from a subscriber profile.

The table below shows information about support for functionality and SSO for these ACL configurations:

How to Implement Traffic Filters for IPv6 Security

Configuring IPv6 Traffic Filtering

Creating and Configuring an IPv6 ACL for Traffic Filtering


Note

IPv6 ACLs on the Cisco ASR 1000 platform do not contain implicit permit rules. The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses the IPv6 network-layer service; therefore, to enable IPv6 neighbor discovery, you must add IPv6 ACLs to allow IPv6 neighbor discovery packets to be sent and received on an interface. In IPv4, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is equivalent to the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data-link-layer protocol; therefore, by default IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.

Example: IPv6 Template ACL Processing

In this example, the contents of ACL1 and ACL2 are the same, but the names are different: 

ipv6 access-list extended ACL1 (PeerIP: 2001:1::1/64) 
permit igmp any                  2003:1::1/64 
permit icmp 2002:5::B/64         any 
permit udp  any                  host 2004:1::5 
permit udp  any                  host 2002:2BC::a 
permit icmp host 2001:BC::7      host 2003:3::7 
ipv6 access-list extended ACL2 (PeerIP: 2007:2::7/64) 
permit igmp any                  2003:1::1/64 
permit icmp 2002:5::B/64         any 
permit udp  any                  host 2004:1::5 
permit udp  any                  host 2002:2BC::a 
permit icmp host 2001:BC::7      host 2003:3::7

The template for these ACLs is as follows: 

ipv6 access-list extended Template_1 
permit igmp any                  2003:1::1/64 
permit icmp 2002:5::B/64         any 
permit udp  any                  host 2004:1::5 
permit udp  any                  host 2002:2BC::a 
permit icmp host 2001:BC::7      host 2003:3::7

Example Displaying Access List Statistics

The following example output for ACL statistics provides information about the counter aggregation and poll timer:

Router# show ipv6 access-list OutFilter_IPv6
IPv6 access list OutFilter_IPv6
    permit icmp any any mld-query sequence 30
    permit icmp any any router-advertisement sequence 40
    deny 103 any any sequence 50
    permit icmp any any packet-too-big sequence 60
    deny icmp any any sequence 70
    deny ipv6 2001:DB8:1100:9::/64 any sequence 74
    deny ipv6 2001:DB8:1100:10::/64 any sequence 75
    permit ipv6 any 2050::/16 log-input sequence 80
    deny ipv6 2001:DB8:1100:13::/64 any sequence 90
    deny ipv6 2001:DB8:1100:14::/64 any sequence 100
    deny ipv6 2001:DB8:2000::/35 2408:40:2000::/35 dscp default sequence 110
    permit ipv6 any any (175392444 matches) sequence 120

Feature Information

IPv6 Services--Extended Access Control Lists

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

Standard IPv6 ACL functionality was extended to support traffic filtering based on IPv6 option headers and optional, upper-layer protocol type information for finer granularity of control.

The following commands were modified by this feature: clear ipv6 access-list, clear ipv6 inspect, clear ipv6 prefix-list, deny, ipv6 access-class, ipv6 access-list, ipv6 traffic-filter, line, permit, show ipv6 access-list.

IPv6 Services--Standard Access Control Lists

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

Access lists determine what traffic is blocked and what traffic is forwarded at router interfaces and allow filtering based on source and destination addresses, inbound and outbound to a specific interface.

The following commands were modified by this feature: clear ipv6 access-list, clear ipv6 inspect, clear ipv6 prefix-list, deny, ipv6 access-class, ipv6 access-list, ipv6 traffic-filter, line, permit, show ipv6 access-list.

IPv6 ACL--Template ACL

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S

This feature allows similar per-user IPv6 ACLs to be replaced by a single template ACL.

The following commands were modified by this feature: access-list template, show access-list template.

SSO/ISSU Support for Per-User IPv6 ACL for PPP Sessions

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.1S

Reproducing IPv6 ACLs on the active RP to the standby RP provides a consistent SSO and ISSU experience for active sessions. The following section provides information about this feature:
