Configuring ACLs is an important part of working with the IOS Firewall. What wildcard masks are replaced in ACLs by the words host and any?
Answer Posted / chaitanya
We have the option of using the word host to represent a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.0.
Consider a configuration where only packets from IP source 10.1.1.1 should be allowed and all other packets denied. The following ACLs both do that.
R3#conf t
R3(config)#access-list 6 permit 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0
R3(config)#conf t
R3(config)#access-list 7 permit host 10.1.1.1
The keyword any can be used to represent a wildcard mask of 255.255.255.255. Both of the following lines permit all traffic.
R3(config)#access-list 15 permit any
R3(config)#access-list 15 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
