ACCESS LISTS:
IP Standard 1-99
IP Extended 100-199
IPX Standard 800-899
IPX Extended 900-999
IPX SAP Filters 1000-1099
IP STANDARD:
• Config# access-list 10 permit 133.2.2.0 0.0.0.255 - allow all src ip’s on network
133.2.2.0
-or-
• Config# access-list 10 permit host 133.2.2.2 - specifies a specific host
-or-
• Config# access-list 10 permit any - allows any address
IP EXTENDED:
• Config# access-list 101 permit tcp 133.12.0.0 0.0.255.255 122.3.2.0 0.0.0.255 eq
telnet
-protocols: tcp, udp, icmp, ip (no sockets then), among others
-source then destination address
-eq, gt, lt for comparison
-sockets can be numeric or name (23 or telnet, 21 or ftp, etc)
-or-
• Config# access-list 101 deny tcp any host 133.2.23.3 eq www
-or-
• Config# access-list 101 permit ip any any
IPX STANDARD:
• Config# access-list 801 permit 233 AA3 - source network/host then destination
network/host
-or-
• Config# access-list 801 permit -1 -1 - “-1” is the same as “any” with network/host
addresses
IPX EXTENDED:
• Config# access-list 901 permit sap 4AA all 4BB all
- Permit protocol src_add socket dest_add socket
-“all” includes all sockets, or can use socket numbers
-or-
• Config# access-list 901 permit any any all any all
-Permits any protocol with any address on any socket to go anywhere
PPP SETUP:
• Config-if# encapsulation ppp
• Config-if# ppp authentication chap pap
-order in which they will be used
-only attempted with the authentification listed
-if one fails, then connection is terminated
• Config-if# exit
• Config# username Lab-b password 123456
-username is the router that will be connecting to this one
-only specified routers can connect
-or-
• Config-if# ppp chap hostname ROUTER
• Config-if# ppp chap password 123456
-if this is set on all routers, then any of them can connect to any other
-set same on all for easy configuration
ISDN SETUP:
• Config# isdn switch-type basic-5ess - determined by telecom
• Config# interface serial 0
• Config-if# isdn spid1 2705554564 - isdn “phonenumber” of line 1
• Config-if# isdn spid2 2705554565 - isdn “phonenumber” of line 2
• Config-if# encapsulation PPP - or HDLC, LAPD
3. Configure Interface
Config-if# ip address 192.3.5.5 255.255.255.0
Config-if# no shutdown
Config-if# encapsulation ppp
Config-if# dialer-group 1 - applies dialer-list to this interface
Config-if# dialer map ip 192.3.5.6 name Lab-b 5551212
connect to lab-b at 5551212 with ip 192.3.5.6 if there is interesting traffic
can also use “dialer string 5551212” instead if there is only one router to
connect to
