ACL Processing Logic

When a packet enters a router interface, the router performs a consistent processing routine regardless of whether an ACL is configured. If an ACL is present, the packet is checked against the ACL's statements. If permitted, the packet is sent to the outgoing interface, which may also have an ACL.

Why ACL Order Matters

Incorrectly ordered ACL entries can lead to unintended blocking of traffic. The order of entries determines which rule is applied first, so placing deny statements before permit statements may lead to blocking legitimate traffic.

Mistakes in configuring ACLs often include incorrect ordering of entries, inadequate rule implementation, or misapplying the ACL to the wrong direction, interface, or source address.

ACL Direction

ACLs are applied to interfaces with a specific direction (inbound, outbound, or both). Applying an ACL to the wrong direction can result in unintended blocking of traffic.

ACL Rules and Traffic Control

ACLs are used to manage traffic flow by either permitting or denying specific traffic based on rules defined in the ACL entries. They help control access and security by filtering packets based on various criteria like source and destination addresses, ports, protocols, etc.

Study Notes

Chapter 9: Multiarea OSPF

  • Multiarea OSPF is used in small to medium-sized business networks to improve efficiency and scalability.
  • Using areas allows OSPF to handle a larger link-state database (LSDB) more efficiently, reducing processing and memory overhead.
  • Multiarea OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 are implemented in a two-layer area hierarchy.
  • The backbone area is area 0, and all other areas connect to it.
  • Internal routers have all interfaces in the same area.
  • Backbone routers are located in area 0 and connect other areas.
  • Area border routers (ABRs) have interfaces in multiple areas.
  • Autonomous system border routers (ASBRs) have interfaces on one external network.
  • OSPF Link State Advertisements (LSAs) provide network details needed for efficient operation.

OSPF LSA Types

  • LSAs are database records that describe network details.
  • LSAs, in combination, describe the entire OSPF network topology.
  • The first five LSAs are always supported in implementations of Multiarea OSPF.
  • LSA Type 1: Routers advertise their directly connected OSPF-enabled links and are flooded within the area.
  • LSA Type 2: Used on non-broadcast and multi-access networks, provide information about the DR on the multiaccess segment.
  • LSA Type 3: ABRs use these LSAs to advertise networks from other areas.
  • LSA Type 4: Identifies ASBRs and routes to it, generated by ABRs when ASBRs exist in the area.
  • LSA Type 5: Used to advertise external (non-OSPF) networks and are flooded throughout the routing domain. 

OSPF Routing Table

  • OSPF routes in an IPv4 routing table are identified by "O" (intra-area).
  • Interarea routes are identified as "O IA".
  • External routes are identified by "O E1" (external type 1) or "O E2" (external type 2).

OSPF Route Calculation

  • Routers prioritize calculating optimal routes within their area first (Type 1 and Type 2 LSAs).
  • Then they calculate routes to other areas (Type 3 LSAs).
  • Finally, they calculate routes to external autonomous systems (Type 5 LSAs).

Configuring Multiarea OSPF

  • Gather network requirements and parameters.
  • Define OSPF parameters (single-area vs. multiarea, IP addressing plan, OSPF areas, network topology).
  • Configure the multiarea OSPF implementation.
  • Verify the configuration.

Configuring Multiarea OSPFv2

  • There are no special commands required.
  • A router becomes an Area Border Router (ABR) when it has interfaces in two or more different areas

Configuring Multiarea OSPFv3

  • There are no special commands required.
  • A router becomes an Area Border Router (ABR) when it has interfaces in two or more different areas

Verifying Multiarea OSPFv2

  • Use commands like show ip ospf neighbor, show ip ospf, show ip ospf interface, show ip ospf interface brief, show ip route ospf, show ip ospf database to verify the OSPFv2 operation.

Verifying Multiarea OSPFv3

  • Use commands show ipv6 protocols, show ipv6 interface brief, show ipv6 route ospf, show ipv6 ospf database to verify the OSPFv3 operation.

Chapter 7: Access Control Lists

  • Access Control Lists (ACLs) determine whether a router forwards or drops packets based on information in the packet header.
  • ACLs are used to limit traffic, increase network performance, and provide network security, but aren't configured by default.
  • Standard IPv4 ACLs filter traffic based on source IP addresses; Extended IPv4 ACLs filter traffic based on source and destination IP addresses and ports, as well as other fields.

ACL Operation

  • ACLs in routers help control what traffic is allowed to pass.
  • ACLs filter traffic as it approaches or leaves a specific interface.
  • Inbound ACLs act on traffic entering an interface before it is processed.
  • Outbound ACLs act on traffic exiting interface after it has been processed.

Wildcard Masks

  • Wildcard masks are used to define a match in ACLs, allowing for more flexibility than literal address matching.
  • A wildcard mask consists of binary digits; where 1 means ignore the corresponding bit, and 0 means to match the value of the bit.
  • Wildcard masks are often abbreviated using keywords like "host" or "any".

ACL Configurations

  • Standard ACL use only source IP addresses and are positioned near the destination.
  • Extended ACL statements use protocol, source IP, source port, destination IP, and destination port information and are positioned close to the source.
  • ACLS need testing before deployment and attention must be paid to the configuration and use order of entries.
