IP Fragments ACL Examples
The following examples show how you can use ACL commands with the fragment keyword to filter
fragmented packets.
Example of Permitting All Packets on an Interface
The following configuration permits all packets (both fragmented and non-fragmented) with destination
IP 10.1.1.1. The second rule does not get hit at all.
Dell(conf)#ip access-list extended ABC
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#permit ip any 10.1.1.1/32
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#deny ip any 10.1.1.1/32 fragments
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)
Example of Denying Second and Subsequent Fragments
To deny the second/subsequent fragments, use the same rules in a different order. These ACLs deny all
second and subsequent fragments with destination IP 10.1.1.1 but permit the first fragment and non-
fragmented packets with destination IP 10.1.1.1.
Dell(conf)#ip access-list extended ABC
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#deny ip any 10.1.1.1/32 fragments
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#permit ip any 10.1.1.1/32
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)
Layer 4 ACL Rules Examples
The following examples show the ACL commands for Layer 4 packet filtering.
Permit an ACL line with L3 information only, and the fragments keyword is present:
If a packet’s L3 information matches the L3 information in the ACL line, the packet's FO is checked.
• If a packet's FO > 0, the packet is permitted.
• If a packet's FO = 0, the next ACL entry is processed.
Deny ACL line with L3 information only, and the fragments keyword is present:
If a packet's L3 information does match the L3 information in the ACL line, the packet's FO is checked.
• If a packet's FO > 0, the packet is denied.
• If a packet's FO = 0, the next ACL line is processed.
Example of Permitting All Packets from a Specified Host
In this first example, TCP packets from host 10.1.1.1 with TCP destination port equal to 24 are permitted.
All others are denied.
Dell(conf)#ip access-list extended ABC
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host 10.1.1.1 any eq 24
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)#deny ip any any fragment
Dell(conf-ext-nacl)
