IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering

The IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering feature allows you to control IPv6 traffic that might contain hop-by-hop extension headers. You can configure an access control list (ACL) to deny all hop-by-hop traffic or to selectively permit traffic based on protocol.

Information About IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering

ACLs and Traffic Forwarding

IPv6 access control lists (ACLs) determine what traffic is blocked and what traffic is forwarded at device interfaces. ACLs allow filtering based on source and destination addresses, inbound and outbound to a specific interface. Use the ipv6 access-list command to define an IPv6 ACL, and the deny and permit commands to configure its conditions.

The IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering feature implements RFC 2460 to support traffic filtering in any upper-layer protocol type.

How to Configure IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering

Configuring IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:

Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

ipv6 access-list access-list-name

Example:

Device(config)# ipv6 access-list hbh-acl

Defines an IPv6 ACL and enters IPv6 access list configuration mode.

Step 4

permit protocol { source-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length | any | host source-ipv6-address | auth } [ operator [ port-number ]] { destination-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length | any | host destination-ipv6-address | auth } [ operator [ port-number ]] [ dest-option-type [ header-number | header-type ]] [ dscp value ] [ flow-label value ] [ fragments ] [ hbh ] [ log ] [ log-input ] [ mobility ] [ mobility-type [ mh-number | mh-type ]] [ reflect name [ timeout value ]] [ routing ] [ routing-type routing-number ] [ sequence value ] [ time-range name ]

Example:

Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit icmp any any dest-option-type

Sets permit conditions for the IPv6 ACL.

Step 5

deny protocol { source-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length | any | host source-ipv6-address | auth } [ operator [ port-number ]] { destination-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length | any | host destination-ipv6-address | auth } [ operator [ port-number ]] [ dest-option-type [ header-number | header-type ]] [ dscp value ] [ flow-label value ] [ fragments ] [ hbh ] [ log ] [ log-input ] [ mobility ] [ mobility-type [ mh-number | mh-type ]] [ routing ] [ routing-type routing-number ] [ sequence value ] [ time-range name ] [ undetermined-transport ]

Example:

Device(config-ipv6-acl)# deny icmp any any dest-option-type

Sets deny conditions for the IPv6 ACL.

Step 6

end

Example:

Device (config-ipv6-acl)# end 

Returns to privileged EXEC configuration mode.

Configuration Example for IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering

Example: IPv6 ACL Extensions for Hop by Hop Filtering


Device(config)# ipv6 access-list hbh_acl
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit tcp any any hbh
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit tcp any any
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit udp any any
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit udp any any hbh
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit hbh any any
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# permit any any
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# hardware statistics
Device(config-ipv6-acl)# exit

! Assign an IP address and add the ACL on the interface.

Device(config)# interface TenGigabitEthernet4/1/0
Device(config-if)# ipv6 address 1001::1/64
Device(config-if)# ipv6 traffic-filter hbh_acl in
Device(config-if)# exit
Device(config)# exit
Device# clear counters
Clear "show interface" counters on all interfaces [confirm]
Device# 

! Verify the configurations.

Device# show running-config interface TenGigabitEthernet4/1/0

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 114 bytes
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet4/1/0
no switchport
ipv6 address 1001::1/64
ipv6 traffic-filter hbh_acl
end
