Access List Commands

Introduction

This chapter describes the access list commands used with the BSR 2000™.

Access lists are used on the BSR to control entry or exit access to or from the BSR. Access lists are also used within a route-map statement that is part of the routing configuration. Access lists can be configured for all routed network protocols to filter packets as the packets pass through the BSR. The access list criteria can be defined by the source or the destination address, upper-layer protocol, or other routing information.

There are many reasons to configure access lists including to restrict contents of routing updates or to provide traffic flow control. One of the most important reasons to configure access lists is to provide a basic level of security on the network. All packets passing through the BSR can be allowed onto all parts of the network if an access list is not part of the router configuration.
