good idea to use a text editor to create them. Consider the following before implementing named ACLs. Named ACLs are not compatible with Cisco IOS releases prior to Release 11.2. The same name may not be used for multiple ACLs. For example, it is not permissible to specify both a standard and extended ACL named George. It is important to be aware of named access lists because of the advantages just discussed. Advanced access list operations such as named ACLs will be presented in the CCNP curriculum. A named ACL is created with the ip access-list command. This places the user in the ACL configuration mode. In ACL configuration mode, specify one or more conditions to be permitted or denied. This determines whether the packet is passed or dropped when the ACL statement matches. The configuration shown creates a standard ACL named Internet filter and an extended ACL named “marketing_group”. Also shown is how the named access lists are applied to an interface. Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Configuring a Named Access List In this lab, the student will create a named ACL to permit or deny specific traffic. Lab Activity Lab Exercise: VTY Restriction In this lab, the student will use the access-class and line commands to control telnet access to the router. Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Simple DMZ Extended Access Lists In this lab, the student will use extended access lists to create a simple DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ). Lab Activity Lab Exercise: Multiple Access Lists Functions (Challenge Lab) In this lab, the student will configure and apply an extended access control list to control Internet traffic using one or more routers. Lab Activity e-Lab Activity: Named ACL In this lab, the students will configure a named access-control list for the local router "Ougoudou". Lab Activity e-Lab Activity: Configuring a Named Access List In this lab, the students will create a named ACL to permit or deny specific traffic and test the ACL to determine if the desired results were achieved.

Content 11.2 Access Control Lists (ACLs) 11.2.4 Placing ACLs ACLs are used to control traffic by filtering packets and eliminating unwanted traffic on a network. Another important consideration of implementing ACLs is where the access list is placed. If the ACLs are placed in the proper location, not only can traffic be filtered, but it can make the whole network more efficient. If traffic is going to be filtered, the ACL should be placed where it has the greatest impact on increasing efficiency.Suppose the enterprise policy aim is to deny telnet or FTP traffic from Router A Ethernet LAN segment to the switched Ethernet LAN Fa0/1 on Router D. At the same time, other traffic must be permitted. Several approaches can accomplish this policy. The recommended approach uses an extended ACL specifying both source and destination addresses. Place this extended ACL in Router A. Then, packets do not cross Router A's Ethernet, do not cross the serial interfaces of Routers B and C, and do not enter Router D. Traffic with different source and destination addresses will still be permitted. The general rule is to put the extended ACLs as close as possible to the source of the traffic denied. Standard ACLs do not specify destination addresses, so they should be placed as close to the destination as possible. For example, a standard ACL should be placed on Fa0/0 of Router D to prevent traffic from Router A. An administrator can only place an access list on a device that they control. Therefore access list placement must be determined in the context of where the network administrator’s control extends. Interactive Media Activity Point and Click: ACL Placement After completing this activity, the student will be able to place ACLs.

Content 11.2 Access Control Lists (ACLs) 11.2.5 Firewalls A firewall is an architectural structure that exists between the user and the outside world to protect the internal network from intruders. In most circumstances, intruders come from the global Internet and the thousands of remote networks that it interconnects. Typically, a network firewall consists of several different machines that work together to prevent unwanted and illegal access.In this architecture, the router that is connected to the Internet, referred to as the exterior router, forces all incoming traffic to go to the application gateway. The router that is connected to the internal network, the interior router, accepts packets only from the application gateway. In effect, the gateway controls the delivery of network-based services both into and from the internal network. For example, only certain users might be allowed to communicate with the Internet, or only certain applications might be permitted to establish connections between an interior and exterior host. If the only application that is permitted is mail, then only mail packets should be allowed through the router. This protects the application gateway and avoids overwhelming it with packets that it would otherwise discard. ACLs should be used in firewall routers, which are often positioned between the internal network and an external network, such as the Internet. The firewall router provides a point of isolation so that the rest of the internal network structure is not affected. ACLs can be used on a router positioned between the two parts of the network to control traffic entering or exiting a specific part of the internal network. A configuration of ACLs on border routers, which are routers situated on the boundaries of the network, is necessary to provide security benefits. This provides basic security from the outside network, or from a less controlled area of the network, into a more private area of the network. On these border routers, ACLs can be created for each network protocol configured on the router interfaces.

Content 11.2 Access Control Lists (ACLs) 11.2.6 Restricting virtual terminal access Standard and extended access lists apply to packets traveling through a router. They are not designed to block packets that originate within the router. An outbound Telnet extended access list does not prevent router initiated Telnet sessions, by default.Just as there are physical ports or interfaces, such as Fa0/0 and S0/0 on the router, there are also virtual ports. These virtual ports are called vty lines. There are five such vty lines, numbered 0 through 4, as shown in figure . For security purposes, users can be denied or permitted virtual terminal access to the router but denied access to destinations from that router. The purpose of restricted vty access is increased network security. Access to vty is also accomplished using the Telnet protocol to make a nonphysical connection to the router. As a result, there is only one type of vty access list. Identical restrictions should be placed on all vty lines as it is not possible to control which line a user will connect on. The process to create the vty access list
