Identifies the IP access-group name with a limit of 29 alphanumeric characters, case insensitive.

in

Specifies that the group is for ingress traffic.

out

Specifies that the group is for egress traffic.


Defaults

Groups are created for both ingress and egress traffic.

Command Modes

Interface mode.

Command History

This command was introduced in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.2(1).

Usage Guidelines

The access-group command controls access to an interface. Each interface can only be associated with one access list. The access group becomes active on creation.

We recommend creating all rules in an access list, before creating the access group that uses this access -list.

If you create an access group before an access-list, all packets in that interface are dropped, because the access list is empty.

The access-group configuration for the ingress traffic applies to both local and remote traffic. The access-group configuration for the egress traffic applies only to local traffic. You can create a different access-group for each type of traffic.

Examples

The following example creates an access group called SampleName for both the ingress and egress traffic (default)

switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName

The following example deletes the access group called NotRequired.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group NotRequired

The following example creates an access group called SampleName (if it does not already exist) for ingress traffic.

switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName1 in 

The following example deletes the access group called SampleName for ingress traffic.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group SampleName1 in

The following example creates an access group called SampleName (if it does not already exist) for local egress traffic.

switch(config-if)# ip access-group SampleName2 out 

The following example deletes the access group called SampleName for local egress traffic.

switch(config-if)# no ip access-group SampleName2 out
