Chapter16 Adding an EtherType Access List
What to Do Next
Example
The following sample access list allows common EtherTypes originating on the inside interface:
hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit ipx
hostname(config)# access-list ETHER ethertype permit mpls-unicast
hostname(config)# access-group ETHER in interface inside
Adding Remarks to Access Lists
You can include remarks about entries in any access list, including extended, EtherType, IPv6, standard,
and Webtype access lists. The remarks make an access list easier to understand.
To add a remark after the last access-list command you entered, enter the following command:
Example
You can add remarks before each ACE, and the remarks appear in the access list in these locations.
Entering a dash (-) at the beginning of a remark helps to set it apart from the ACE.
hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the inside admin address
hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.3 any
hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the hr admin address
hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.4 any
What to Do Next
Apply the access list to an interface. (See the “Configuring Access Rules” section on page 34-7 for more
information.)
Monitoring EtherType Access Lists
To monitor EtherType access lists, enter one of the following commands:
Command Purpose
access-list access_list_name remark text
Example:
hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark -
this is the inside admin address
Adds a remark after the last access-list command you entered.
The text can be up to 100 characters in length. You can enter leading spaces
at the beginning of the text. Trailing spaces are ignored.
If you enter the remark before any access-list command, then the remark
is the first line in the access list.
If you delete an access list using the no access-list access_list_name
command, then all remarks are also removed.
Command Purpose
show access-list Displays the access list entries by number.
show running-config access-list Displays the current running access-list
configuration.
