Modification

4.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

By default, no IPv4 ACLs are applied to an interface.

You can use the ip access-group command to apply an IPv4 ACL as a router ACL to the following interface types:

  • VLAN interfaces

Note


You must enable VLAN interfaces globally before you can configure a VLAN interface. For more information, see the feature interface-vlan command in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Command Reference.
  • Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces
  • Layer 3 Ethernet port-channel interfaces and subinterfaces
  • Tunnels
  • Loopback interfaces
  • Management interfaces

You can also use the ip access-group command to apply an IPv4 ACL as a router ACL to the following interface types:

  • Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 2 Ethernet port-channel interfaces

However, an ACL applied to a Layer 2 interface with the ip access-group command is inactive unless the port mode changes to routed (Layer 3) mode. To apply an IPv4 ACL as a port ACL, use the ip port access-group command.

The device applies router ACLs on either outbound or inbound traffic. When the device applies an ACL to inbound traffic, the device checks inbound packets against the rules in the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device continues to process the packet. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host-unreachable message.

For outbound access lists, after receiving and routing a packet to an interface, the device checks the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device sends the packet to its destination. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host unreachable message.

If you delete the specified ACL from the device without removing the ACL from an interface, the deleted ACL does not affect traffic on the interface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to apply an IPv4 ACL named ip-acl-01 to Ethernet interface 2/1:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ip access-group ip-acl-01 in

This example shows how to remove an IPv4 ACL named ip-acl-01 from Ethernet interface 2/1:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no 
ip access-group ip-acl-01 in

ip access-list

To create an IPv4 access control list (ACL) or to enter IP access list configuration mode for a specific ACL, use the ip access-list command. To remove an IPv4 ACL, use the no form of this command.

ip access-list access-list-name

no ip access-list access-list-name

Syntax Description

access-list-name

Name of the IPv4 ACL. The name has a maximum of 64 alphanumeric, case-sensitive characters but cannot contain a space or quotation mark.

Command Default

None

Command Modes


Global configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

4.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

No IPv4 ACLs are defined by default.

Use IPv4 ACLs to filter IPv4 traffic.

When you use the ip access-list command, the device enters IP access list configuration mode, where you can use the IPv4 deny and permit commands to configure rules for the ACL. If the ACL specified does not exist, the device creates it when you enter this command.

Use the ip access-group command to apply the ACL to an interface as a router ACL. Use the ip port access-group command to apply the ACL to an interface as a port ACL.

Every IPv4 ACL has the following implicit rule as its last rule:

deny ip any any

This implicit rule ensures that the device denies unmatched IP traffic.

Unlike IPv6 ACLs, IPv4 ACLs do not include additional implicit rules to enable the neighbor discovery process. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which is the IPv4 equivalent of the IPv6 neighbor discovery process, uses a separate data link layer protocol. By default, IPv4 ACLs implicitly allow ARP packets to be sent and received on an interface.

Use the statistics per-entry command to configure the device to record statistics for each rule in an IPv4 ACL. The device does not record statistics for implicit rules. To record statistics for packets that would match the implicit deny ip any any rule, you must explicitly configure an identical rule.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enter IP access list configuration mode for an IPv4 ACL named ip-acl-01:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# ip access-list ip-acl-01
switch(config-acl)#

4.0(3)

Up to four ip dhcp relay address commands can be added to the configuration of a Layer 3 Ethernet interface or subinterface.

4.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must enable the DHCP snooping feature (see the feature dhcp command).

You can configure up to four DHCP server IP addresses on Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces and subinterfaces, VLAN interfaces, and Layer 3 port channels. In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0.2 and earlier releases, you can configure only one DHCP server IP address on an interface.

When an inbound DHCP BOOTREQUEST packet arrives on the interface, the relay agent forwards the packet to all DHCP server IP addresses specified on that interface. The relay agent forwards replies from all DHCP servers to the host that sent the request.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure two IP addresses for DHCP servers so that the relay agent can forward BOOTREQUEST packets received on the specified Layer 3 Ethernet interface:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ip dhcp relay address 10.132.7.120
switch(config-if)# ip dhcp relay address 10.132.7.175
switch(config-if)# 

This example shows how to configure the IP address of a DHCP server on a VLAN interface:

Command Modes


Global configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

5.0(2)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must enable Option-82 information insertion for the DHCP relay agent (see the ip dhcp relay information option command).

You can configure the DHCP relay agent to forward DHCP broadcast messages from clients in one VRF to DHCP servers in a different VRF. By using a single DHCP server to provide DHCP support to clients in multiple VRFs, you can conserve IP addresses by using a single IP address pool rather than one for each VRF.

If a DHCP request arrives on an interface that you have configured with a DHCP relay address and VRF information and the address of the DCHP server belongs to a network on an interface that is a member of a different VRF, the device inserts Option-82 information in the request and forwards it to the DHCP server in the server VRF. The Option-82 information that the devices adds to a DHCP request relayed to a different VRF includes the following:

  • VPN identifier—Contains the name of the VRF that the interface that receives the DHCP request is a member of.
  • Link selection—Contains the subnet address of the interface that receives the DHCP request.
  • Server identifier override—Contains the IP address of the interface that receives the DHCP request.

When the devices receives the DHCP response message, it strips off the Option-82 information and forwards the response to the DHCP client in the client VRF.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable VRF support for the DHCP relay agent, which is dependent upon enabling Option-82 support for the DHCP relay agent, and how to configure a DHCP server address on a Layer 3 interface when the DHCP server is in a VRF named SiteA:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# ip dhcp relay information option
switch(config)# ip dhcp relay information option vpn
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if)# ip dhcp relay address 10.43.87.132 use-vrf SiteA
switch(config-if)#

Usage Guidelines

By default, no IPv4 ACLs are applied to an interface.

You can use the ip port access-group command to apply an IPv4 ACL as a port ACL to the following interface types:

  • Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 2 Ethernet port-channel interfaces

You can also use the ip port access-group command to apply an IPv4 ACL as a port ACL to the following interface types:

  • VLAN interfaces

Note


You must enable VLAN interfaces globally before you can configure a VLAN interface. For more information, see the feature interface-vlan command in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Command Reference.
  • Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces
  • Layer 3 Ethernet port-channel interfaces and subinterfaces
  • Tunnels
  • Loopback interfaces
  • Management interfaces

However, an ACL applied to a Layer 3 interface with the ip port access-group command is inactive unless the port mode changes to access or trunk (Layer 2) mode. To apply an IPv4 ACL as a router ACL, use the ip access-group command.

You can also apply an IPv4 ACL as a VLAN ACL. For more information, see the match (VLAN access-map) command.

The device applies port ACLs to inbound traffic only. The device checks inbound packets against the rules in the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device continues to process the packet. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host-unreachable message.

If you delete the specified ACL from the device without removing the ACL from an interface, the deleted ACL does not affect traffic on the interface.

If MAC packet classification is enabled on a Layer 2 interface, you cannot use the ip port access-group command on the interface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to apply an IPv4 ACL named ip-acl-01 to Ethernet interface 2/1 as a port ACL:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ip port access-group ip-acl-01 in

Strict Unicast RPF mode—A strict mode check is successful when the following matches occur:

  • Unicast RPF finds a match in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) for the packet source address.
  • The ingress interface through which the packet is received matches one of the Unicast RPF interfaces in the FIB match.

If these checks fail, the packet is discarded. You can use this type of Unicast RPF check where packet flows are expected to be symmetrical.

Loose Unicast RPF mode—A loose mode check is successful when a lookup of a packet source address in the FIB returns a match and the FIB result indicates that the source is reachable through at least one real interface. The ingress interface through which the packet is received is not required to match any of the interfaces in the FIB result.

This command does not require a license.

Command History

Release

Modification

4.1(2)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use IPv6 ACLs to filter IPv6 traffic.

When you use the ipv6 access-list command, the device enters IPv6 access list configuration mode, where you can use the IPv6 deny and permit commands to configure rules for the ACL. If the ACL specified does not exist, the device creates it when you enter this command.

Use the ipv6 traffic-filter command to apply the ACL to an interface as a router ACL. Use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command to apply the ACL to an interface as a port ACL.

Every IPv6 ACL has the following implicit rules as its last rules:


permit icmp any any nd-na
permit icmp any any nd-ns
permit icmp any any router-advertisement
permit icmp any any router-solicitation
deny ipv6 any any

Unless you configured an IPv6 ACL with a rule that denies ICMPv6 neighbor discovery messages, the first four rules ensure that the device permits neighbor discovery advertisement and solicitation messages. The fifth rule ensures that the device denies unmatched IPv6 traffic.

Use the statistics per-entry command to configure the device to record statistics for each rule in an IPv6 ACL. The device does not record statistics for implicit rules. To record statistics for packets that would match implicit rules, you must explicitly configure an identical rule for each implicit rule.


Note


If you explicitly configure an IPv6 ACL with a deny ipv6 any any rule, the implicit permit rules can never permit traffic. If you explicitly configure a deny ipv6 any any rule but want to permit ICMPv6 neighbor discovery messages, explicitly configure a rule for all five implicit IPv6 ACL rules.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enter IP access list configuration mode for an IPv6 ACL named ipv6-acl-01:


switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# ipv6 access-list ipv6-acl-01

Modification

6.2(2)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can use the ipv6 dhcp relay option vpn command to relay DHCPv6 requests that arrive on an interface in one VRF to a DHCPv6 server in a different VRF.

The ipv6 dhcp relay option type cisco command causes the DHCPv6 relay agent to insert virtual subnet selection (VSS) details as part of the vendor-specific option. The no option causes the DHCPv6 relay agent to insert VSS details as part of the VSS option (68), which is defined in RFC 6607. This command is useful when you want to use DHCPv6 servers that do not support RFC 6607 but allocate IPv6 addresses based on the client VRF name.

The ipv6 dhcp relay source-interface command configures the source interface for the DHCPv6 relay. By default, the DHCPv6 relay agent uses the relay agent address as the source address of the outgoing packet. Configuring the source interface enables you to use a more stable address (such as the loopback interface address) as the source address of relayed messages.

The DHCPv6 relay source interface can be configured globally, per interface, or both. When both the global and interface levels are configured, the interface-level configuration overrides the global configuration.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enable VRF support for the DHCPv6 relay agent:

switch(config)# ipv6 dhcp relay option vpn

This example shows how to enable the DHCPv6 relay agent using option type Cisco:

Modification

6.2(2)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 dhcp relay address command configures an IPv6 address for a DHCPv6 server to which the relay agent forwards BOOTREQUEST packets received on the configured interface.

Use the use-vrf option to specify the VRF name of the server if it is in a different VRF and the other argument interface is used to specify the output interface for the destination.

The server address can either be a link-scoped unicast or multicast address or a global or site-local unicast or multicast address. The interface option is mandatory for a link-scoped server address and multicast address. It is not allowed for a global or site-scoped server address.

To configure more than one IP address, use the ipv6 dhcp relay address command once per address.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the IPv6 addresses for the DHCPv6 server so that the relay agent can forward BOOTREQUEST packets to the VLAN 25:

switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# ipv6 dhcp relay address FF02:1::FF0E:8C6C interface vlan 25

ipv6 nd raguard attach-policy

To apply the IPv6 router advertisement (RA) guard feature on a specified interface, use the ipv6 nd raguard attach-policy command in interface configuration mode.

ipv6 nd raguard attach-policy [policy-name [vlan {add | except | none | remove | all} vlan [vlan1, vlan2, vlan3...]]]

Syntax Description

policy-name

(Optional) IPv6 RA guard policy name.

vlan

(Optional) Applies the IPv6 RA guard feature to a VLAN on the interface.

add

Adds a VLAN to be inspected.

except

All VLANs are inspected except the one specified.

none

No VLANs are inspected.

remove

Removes the specified VLAN from RA guard inspection.

all

ND traffic from all VLANs on the port is inspected.

vlan

(Optional) A specific VLAN on the interface. More than one VLAN can be specified (vlan1 , vlan2 , vlan3 ...). The range of available VLAN numbers is from 1 through 4094.

Command Default

An IPv6 RA guard policy is not configured.

Command Modes


Interface configuration (config-if)

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

If no policy is specified using the policy-name argument, the port device role is set to host and all inbound router traffic (for example, RA and redirect messages) is blocked.

If no VLAN is specified (which is equal to entering the vlan all keywords after the policy-name argument), RA guard traffic from all VLANs on the port is analyzed.

If specified, the VLAN parameter is either a single VLAN number from 1 through 4094 or a range of VLANs described by two VLAN numbers, the lesser one first, separated by a dash. Do not enter any spaces between comma-separated vlan parameters or in dash-specified ranges; for example, vlan 1-100,200,300-400.

Examples

In the following example, the IPv6 RA guard feature is applied on GigabitEthernet interface 0/0:


switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
switch(config-if)# ipv6 nd raguard attach-policy

ipv6 nd raguard policy

To define the router advertisement (RA) guard policy name and enter RA guard policy configuration mode, use the ipv6 nd raguard policy command in global configuration mode.

ipv6 nd raguardpolicy policy-name

Syntax Description

policy-name

IPv6 RA guard policy name.

Command Default

An RA guard policy is not configured.

Command Modes


Global configuration (config)#

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 nd raguard policy command to configure RA guard globally on a router. Once the device is in ND inspection policy configuration mode, you can use any of the following commands:

  • device-role

  • limit address-count

  • sec-level minimum

  • trusted-port

  • validate source-mac

After IPv6 RA guard is configured globally, you can use the ipv6 nd raguard attach-policy command to enable IPv6 RA guard on a specific interface.

Examples

The following example shows how to define the RA guard policy name as policy1 and place the device in policy configuration mode:


switch(config)# ipv6 nd raguard policy policy1
switch(config-ra-guard)#

ipv6 neighbor binding

To change the defaults of neighbor binding entries in a binding table, use the ipv6 neighbor binding command in global configuration mode. To return the networking device to its default, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 neighbor binding [reachable-lifetime value | stale-lifetime value]

no ipv6 neighbor binding

Syntax Description

reachable-lifetime value

(Optional) The maximum time, in seconds, an entry is considered reachable without getting a proof of reachability (direct reachability through tracking, or indirect reachability through Neighbor Discovery protocol [NDP] inspection). After that, the entry is moved to stale. The range is from 1 through 3600 seconds, and the default is 300 seconds (or 5 minutes).

stale-lifetime value

(Optional) The maximum time, in seconds, a stale entry is kept in the binding table before the entry is deleted or proof is received that the entry is reachable.

  • The default is 24 hours (86,400 seconds).

down-lifetime value

(Optional) The maximum time, in seconds, an entry learned from a down interface is kept in the binding table before the entry is deleted or proof is received that the entry is reachable.

  • The default is 24 hours (86,400 seconds).

Command Default

Reachable lifetime: 300 seconds Stale lifetime: 24 hours Down lifetime: 24 hours

Command Modes


Global configuration (config)

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv6 neighbor binding command to configure information about individual entries in a binding table. If no keywords or arguments are configured, the IPv6 neighbor binding entry defaults are used.

If the tracking reachable-lifetime command is configured, it overrides ipv6 neighbor binding reachable-lifetime configuration. If the tracking stale-lifetime command is configured, it overrides ipv6 neighbor binding stale-lifetime configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to change the reachable lifetime for binding entries to 100 seconds:


switch(config)# ipv6 neighbor binding reachable-entries 100

ipv6 neighbor binding logging

To enable the logging of binding table main events, use the ipv6 neighbor binding logging command in global configuration mode. To disable this function, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 neighbor binding logging

no ipv6 neighbor binding logging

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Binding table events are not logged.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 neighbor binding logging command enables the logging of the following binding table events:

  • An entry is inserted into the binding table.

  • A binding table entry was updated.

  • A binding table entry was deleted from the binding table.

  • A binding table entry was not inserted into the binding table, possibly because of a collision with an existing entry, or because the maximum number of entries has been reached.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable binding table event logging:


switch(config)# ipv6 neighbor binding logging

ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries

To specify the maximum number of entries that are allowed to be inserted in the binding table cache, use the ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries command in global configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries entries [vlan-limit number | interface-limit number | mac-limit number]

no ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries entries [vlan-limit | mac-limit]

Syntax Description

entries

Number of entries that can be inserted into the cache.

vlan-limit number

(Optional) Specifies a neighbor binding limit per number of VLANs.

interface-limit number

(Optional) Specifies a neighbor binding limit per interface.

mac-limit number

(Optional) Specifies a neighbor binding limit per number of Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

Command Default

This command is disabled.

Command Modes


Global configuration (config)

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries command is used to control the content of the binding table. This command specifies the maximum number of entries that are allowed to be inserted in the binding table cache. Once this limit is reached, new entries are refused, and the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) traffic source with the new entry is dropped.

If the maximum number of entries specified is lower than the current number of entries in the database, no entries are cleared, and the new threshold is reached after normal cache attrition.

The maximum number of entries can be set globally per VLAN, interface, or MAC addresses.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify globally the maximum number of entries inserted into the cache:


switch(config)# ipv6 neighbor binding max-entries 100

ipv6 neighbor tracking

To track entries in the binding table, use the ipv6 neighbor tracking command in global configuration mode. To disable entry tracking, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 neighbor tracking [retry-interval value]

no ipv6 neighbor tracking [retry-interval value]

Syntax Description

retry-interval value

(Optional) Verifies a static entry’s reachability at the configured interval time, in seconds, between two probings. The range is from 1 to 3600, and the default is 300.

Command Default

Entries in the binding table are not tracked.

Command Modes


Global configuration (config)

Command History

Release

Modification

8.0(1)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The ipv6 neighbor tracking command enables the tracking of entries in the binding table. Entry reachability is tested at every interval configured by the optional retry-interval keyword (or every 300 seconds, which is the default retry interval) using the neighbor unreachability detection (NUD) mechanism used for directly tracking neighbor reachability.

Reachability can also be established indirectly by using Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) inspection up to the VERIFY_MAX_RETRIES value (the default is 10 seconds). When there is no response, entries are considered stale and are deleted after the stale lifetime value is reached (the default is 1440 minutes).

When the ipv6 neighbor tracking command is disabled, entries are considered stale after the reachable lifetime value is met (the default is 300 seconds) and deleted after the stale lifetime value is met.

To change the default values of neighbor binding entries in a binding table, use the ipv6 neighbor binding command.

Examples

The following example shows how to track entries in a binding table:


switch(config)# ipv6 neighbor tracking

ipv6 port traffic-filter

To apply an IPv6 access control list (ACL) to an interface as a port ACL, use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command. To remove an IPv6 ACL from an interface, use the no form of this command.

ipv6 port traffic-filter access-list-name in

no ipv6 port traffic-filter access-list-name in

Syntax Description

access-list-name

Name of the IPv6 ACL, which can be up to 64 alphanumeric, case-sensitive characters.

in

Specifies that the device applies the ACL to inbound traffic.

Command Default

None

Command Modes


Interface configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

4.1(2)

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

By default, no IPv6 ACLs are applied to an interface.

You can use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command to apply an IPv6 ACL as a port ACL to the following interface types:

  • Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 2 Ethernet port-channel interfaces

You can also use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command to apply an IPv6 ACL as a port ACL to the following interface types:

  • VLAN interfaces

Note


You must enable VLAN interfaces globally before you can configure a VLAN interface. For more information, see the feature interface-vlan command in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Command Reference.
  • Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces and subinterfaces
  • Layer 3 Ethernet port-channel interfaces and subinterfaces
  • Tunnels
  • Management interfaces

However, an ACL applied to a Layer 3 interface with the ipv6 port traffic-filter command is inactive unless the port mode changes to access or trunk (Layer 2) mode. To apply an IPv6 ACL as a router ACL, use the ipv6 traffic-filter command.

You can also apply an IPv6 ACL as a VLAN ACL. For more information, see the match (VLAN access-map) command.

The device applies port ACLs to inbound traffic only. The device checks inbound packets against the rules in the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device continues to process the packet. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host-unreachable message.

If you delete the specified ACL from the device without removing the ACL from an interface, the deleted ACL does not affect traffic on the interface.

If MAC packet classification is enabled on a Layer 2 interface, you cannot use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command on the interface.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to apply an IPv6 ACL named ipv6-acl-L2 to Ethernet interface 1/3:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/3
switch(config-if)# ipv6 port traffic-filter ipv6-acl-L2 in

This example shows how to remove an IPv6 ACL named ipv6-acl-L2 from Ethernet interface 1/3:

You can also use the ipv6 traffic-filter command to apply an IPv6 ACL as a router ACL to the following interface types:

  • Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
  • Layer 2 Ethernet port-channel interfaces

However, an ACL applied to a Layer 2 interface with the ipv6 traffic-filter command is inactive unless the port mode changes to routed (Layer 3) mode. To apply an IPv6 ACL as a port ACL, use the ipv6 port traffic-filter command.

You can also apply an IPv6 ACL as a VLAN ACL. For more information, see the match (VLAN access-map) command.

The device applies router ACLs on either outbound or inbound traffic. When the device applies an ACL to inbound traffic, the device checks inbound packets against the rules in the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device continues to process the packet. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host-unreachable message.

For outbound access lists, after receiving and routing a packet to an interface, the device checks the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the device continues to process the packet. If the first matching rule denies the packet, the device drops the packet and returns an ICMP host-unreachable message.

If you delete the specified ACL from the device without removing the ACL from an interface, the deleted ACL does not affect traffic on the interface.

This command does not require a license.
