Create an IPv6 ACL

Create an IPv6 ACL to specify an ordered list of ACEs, or filter rules.

You must specify the packet type as IPv6 at the ACL level to enable IPv6 filtering. By default, an ACL filters non IPv6 packets.

Note

You cannot change packet type for the ACL after you have configured it. If you want a different packet type, you must delete the ACL and re-create it using the other packet type.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Create an IPv6 ACL:

filter acl <1-2048> type <inVlan|inPort|outPort|inVsn> [matchType <both|terminatingNNIOnly|uniOnly> ] [name WORD<0-32>] [pktType ipv6] [name <0-32>]

Note
IPv6 egress QoS ACL/Filters are not supported.
Enable the ACL:

filter acl <1-2048> enable
Ensure the configuration is correct:

show filter acl [<1-2048>]

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the filter acl command.


Variable	Value
`<1-2048>`	Specifies the ACL ID.
enable	Enables the ACL state, and all associated ACEs. Enabled is the default state.
matchType <both\|terminatingNNIOnly\|uniOnly>	For inVsn ACL types, specifies the match type to associate with the ACL. Valid options are: both for traffic ingressing on both UNI ports and NNI ports terminating on this node terminatingNNIOnly for traffic ingressing on NNI ports only and terminating on this node uniOnly for traffic ingressing on UNI ports only The default value is both.
name `WORD<0-32>`	Specifies an optional descriptive name for the ACL.
type <inVlan\|inPort\|outPort\|inVsn>	Specifies the ACL type. The values inVlan, inPort, and inVsn are ingress ACLs. The value outPort configures IPv6 egress filters. A port-based ACL has precedence over a VLAN-based ACL.
pktType <ipv6>	Specifies the IP version as IPv6. The default is nonipv6. Note: You cannot change packet type for the ACL after you have configured it. If you want a different packet type, you must delete the ACL and re-create it using the other packet type.
