Information About IPv6 Access Lists

The typical access list functionality in IPv6 is similar to access lists in IPv4. Access lists determine
which traffic to block and which traffic to forward at router interfaces. Access lists allow filtering based
upon source and destination addresses, inbound and outbound to specific interfaces. Each access list has
an implicit deny statement at the end. You define IPv6 access lists and set their deny and permit
conditions using the ipv6 access-list command with the deny and permit keywords in global
configuration mode.
