Access Lists: Tricks of the Trade

by Mark Poplar & Howard C. Berkowitz

Introduction

A router's job is to determine which interface the packet is to be passed through based on the destination address included in the packet header. This is a simple concept based on the premise that the router should forward all packets received to the network that contains the destination node.

A challenge to real-world routers, however, is often not how fast they can forward packets, but how quickly they can decide which packets should not be forwarded.

Now, what if we didn't want to transfer every packet that requested access through to any segment on the network and ultimately to any node? What if we were to say that we didn't want to accept packets from certain sources or that we didn't want certain nodes or networks to communicate with other nodes or networks? How would we tell the router not to pass along every packet that it receives, but instead to check the packet against a list we provided? Cisco provided answers to these questions with access control lists usually referred to as simply "access lists."

Access Control Lists and Access Lists

It's worth drawing a distinction between access list and access control list. Access lists are a general Cisco mechanism that allows you to be selective in the traffic you forward -- more selective than routing alone. They operate on individual packets, which distinguishes them from the new techniques of traffic engineering. Conceptually, traffic engineering creates alternate routes rather than creates per-packet routes, although the implementation blurs the two ideas. Nevertheless, traffic engineering is outside the scope of this discussion.

Access control lists are specifically intended for security. There are access control lists on many types of networked devices, not just routers. tcpwrapper, for example, is a public domain tool for UNIX hosts.

Access lists (and their more powerful cousins, such as route maps) are designed to let you specify selective handling for certain traffic, beyond the rules established by traditional destination-based forwarding. Applications for access lists and related functions include security, performance optimization, triggering events such as dialing, etc. The focus of this paper is on Cisco access lists, not the broader problem of access control.

They can be configured to filter packet traffic for all routed network protocols. The concept is simple: A list is created to tell which packets are permitted and which are denied. When a packet is received, it's compared to the list and is either accepted and passed along or rejected and dropped based upon permit or deny permissions that have been stated in the list.

Different types of access lists use different criteria to determine which packets are routed and which are not. Standard access lists use the bare minimum of criteria, usually the source address. Extended access lists can use a variety of additional criteria including destination address, protocols, and ports.

Pattern Matching

The first part of filtering involves defining the traffic that should require special handling. This is an application of pattern matching. Especially when making decisions based on addresses, wildcard masks commonly are used to let one rule match multiple addresses.

Other kinds of rules can specify things such as ranges of TCP or UDP port numbers. See Figure 1 for some of the things that access lists and route maps can look for.

Figure 1.

Actions

When dealing with routed traffic, the main actions performed by access lists are permitting or denying packets access through the interface.

Specialized access lists can alter fields in those packets, such as the IP precedence field used for quality of service signaling. Variant access lists can do other QoS-related functions such as assigning packets to outbound queues.

When using distribute lists to deal with routing packets, the access lists control what routing information goes in or out of a routing process. Distribute lists either permit or deny flow, as opposed to the more powerful route maps, which also allow routing packets to be modified.

Permit and Deny

When a packet reaches an interface, the interface can either permit the packet to pass or deny it entrance. The interface can't perform any other function on that packet.

The best analogy I can give would be to compare this to a popular nightclub. This club has multiple entrances, and at each entrance is a doorman. In his hand is a clipboard with a list of names. When you approach the doorman and he identifies you, he then looks at his list, starting from the top, and compares your name against it, attempting to find a match. If he locates your name and the list specifies that you are permitted to enter, he allows you to pass through the entrance. If the list states that you are to be denied entry, you're turned away. If he goes through the entire list without finding a match, the default is to deny you entrance. (Keep the top-down sequence in mind when designing access lists.)

The nightclub analogy is based upon the control of the entrances to the club. With access lists, not only can you control which packets are allowed in, but you can also control which packets are allowed out. Let's assume the nightclub has a VIP entrance/exit. At this VIP entrance are two lists: one for those who are trying to enter, as we have already described, and another to filter those who are attempting to leave through that door. The second list would be applied in the same manner as the first, from the top down, and it would only be able to either permit or deny. Of course, if no permit were issued by the time the end of the list was reached, the result would be that the implicit "deny all" would deny passage.
