Restricting Virtual Terminal Access 869 Restricting Virtual Terminal Access Standard and extended ACLs apply to packets traveling through a router. They are not designed to block packets that originate within the router. By default, an outbound Telnet-extended ACL does not prevent router-initiated Telnet sessions. In addition to physical ports or interfaces on the router, such as Fa0/0 and S0/0, there are virtual ports. These virtual ports are called vty lines. There are five vty lines, which are numbered zero through four, as shown in Figure 20-16. For security purposes, users can be denied or permitted virtual terminal access to the router, but denied access to destinations from that router. For example, an administrator can configure the ACL to allow terminal access to the router for management or troubleshooting purposes, while at the same time restricting access beyond this router. Figure 20-16 Restricting vty Access with ACLs Restricting vty access is not commonly used as a traffic control mechanism; instead, it is for increasing network security. vty access is accomplished using the Telnet protocol to make a nonphysical connection to the router. As a result, there is only one type of vty ACL. Identical restrictions should be placed on all vty lines because it is impossible to control which line a user will connect on. Whereas a vty ACL is created the same way as on an interface, applying the vty ACL to a terminal line requires using the access-class command instead of the access-group command. Example 20-7 demonstrates creating and applying a virtual terminal access list. Example 20-7 Restricting vty Access with ACLs ! Creating the standard list: Rt1(config)# access-list 2 permit 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 Rt1(config)# access-list 2 permit 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 Rt1(config)# access-list 2 deny any continues 1102.book Page 869 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 870 Chapter 20: Access Control Lists Keep the following considerations in mind when configuring access lists on vty lines: ■ A name or number can be used when controlling access to an interface. ■ Only numbered access lists can be applied to virtual lines. ■ Identical restrictions should be set on all the virtual terminal lines because a user can attempt to connect to any of them. Verifying ACLs The show ip interface command displays IP interface information and indicates whether any ACLs are set. Example 20-8 shows the output of the show ip interface command. As you can see in rows 9 and 10 in Example 20-8, ACL 10 is set to the out- going traffic on interface Ethernet 0. There is no ACL set to inbound traffic. !

By entering the ACL name or number as an option for this command, you can see a specific list. Summary This chapter presented an overview of the following key points: ■ The two main types of ACLs are standard and extended. ■ Named ACLs allow access lists to be identified by name instead of number. ■ ACLs can be configured for all routed network protocols. ■ ACLs typically are used in firewall routers, which often are positioned between the internal network and an external network such as the Internet. ■ ACLs also can restrict virtual terminal access to the router. ■ ACLs perform several functions within a Cisco router, including implementing security/access procedures. ■ ACLs are used to control and manage traffic. ■ For some protocols, you can apply up to two ACLs to an interface: one inbound ACL and one outbound ACL. ■ With ACLs, after a packet is checked for a match with the ACL statement, it can be denied or permitted the use of an associated interface. ■ Wildcard mask bits use the numbers 1 and 0 to determine how to treat the corre- sponding IP address bits. To supplement all that you’ve learned in this chapter, refer to the chapter-specific Videos, PhotoZooms, and e-Lab activities on the CD-ROM accompanying this book.

It forces all incoming traffic to pass through the application gateway. firewall—One or more network devices, such as routers or access servers, designated as a buffer between any connected public networks and a private network. A firewall router uses access control lists and other methods to ensure the security of the private network. interior router—The router that is connected to the internal network. The interior router accepts packets only from the application gateway. The gateway controls the delivery of network-based services both to and from the internal network. named ACL—ACL that allows standard and extended ACLs to be given names. queuing—A process by which ACLs can designate certain packets to be processed by a router before other traffic, on the basis of some configurable parameter such as speci- fying a protocol. standard ACL—ACL that compares source IP addresses to the rules defining a stan- dard ACL.
