Access Control Lists


This chapter describes the level of support that Cisco ANA provides for Access Control Lists (ACLs), as follows:

Technology Description

ACLs

An ACL is a group of statements. Each defines a pattern that would be found in an IP packet. As each packet comes through an interface with an associated access list, the list is scanned from top to bottom, in the exact order that it was entered, for a pattern that matches the incoming packet. A permit or deny rule associated with each pattern determines that packet's fate. A mask (like a wild card) can also be used to determine how much of an IP source or destination address to apply to the pattern match. The pattern statement can also include a TCP or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port.

Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs)

This section currently describes Cisco's Quality of Service (QoS) objects, although they may appear to be generic QoS objects that may be used by other vendors.

This section describes the following IMOs:

Access List Traffic Descriptor (IAccessList)

Access List Entry (IAccessListEntry)

Access List Traffic Descriptor

The Access List Traffic Descriptor, with its Access List Entry objects, describes the access list of a single type (Unknown, Standard, Extended and Rate Limit). It is aggregated by a Traffic Descriptor Container object (see Common Components).
