Extended IP lists ( ) test conditions of source and destination addresses, specific TCP/IP protocols, and destination ports. Standard IP lists ( ) (expanded range). Extended IP lists ( ) (expanded range). Other ACL number ranges test conditions for other networking protocols. Named ACLs identify IP standard and extended ACLs with an alphanumeric string (name).

ICND v2.3—4-16 Summary ACLs allow the packet flow to be filtered into or out of router interfaces and vty ports to help limit network traffic and restrict network use by certain users or devices. ACLs can be used to classify and differentiate traffic for special handling. Standard ACLs check the source addresses of packets that could be routed. Extended ACLs check both source and destination packet addresses.

Outbound ACLs process outgoing packets before they leave an outbound interface. ACL statements operate in sequential, logical order. ACL statements evaluate packets from the top down, one statement at a time, until a matching statement is found. ACL address wildcard masking can be used to identify how to check or ignore corresponding IP address bits. Wildcard masking uses the number 1 and the number 0 to identify how to treat the corresponding IP address bits.
