Standard IP Access List Logging

The Standard IP Access List Logging feature provides the ability to log messages about packets that are permitted or denied by a standard IP access list. Any packet that matches the access list logs an information message about the packet at the device console.

This module provides information about standard IP access list logging.

Information About Standard IP Access List Logging

Standard IP Access List Logging

The Standard IP Access List Logging feature provides the ability to log messages about packets that are permitted or denied by a standard IP access list. Any packet that matches the access list causes an information log message about the packet to be sent to the device console. The log level of messages that are printed to the device console is controlled by the logging console command.

The first packet that the access list inspects triggers the access list to log a message at the device console. Subsequent packets are collected over 5-minute intervals before they are displayed or logged. Log messages include information about the access list number, the source IP address of packets, the number of packets from the same source that were permitted or denied in the previous 5-minute interval, and whether a packet was permitted or denied. You can also monitor the number of packets that are permitted or denied by a particular access list, including the source address of each packet.

How to Configure Standard IP Access List Logging

Creating a Standard IP Access List Using Numbers

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} host address [log]

    4.    access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} any [log]

    5.    interface type number

    6.    ip access-group access-list-number {in | out}

    7.    end


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example: 
    Device> enable
     
    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    • Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example: 
    Device# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} host address [log]


    Example: 
    Device(config)# access-list 1 permit host 10.1.1.1 log
     

    Defines a standard numbered IP access list using a source address and wildcard, and configures the logging of informational messages about packets that match the access list entry at the device console.

     
    Step 4 access-list access-list-number {deny | permit} any [log]


    Example: 
    Device(config)# access-list 1 permit any log
     

    Defines a standard numbered IP access list by using an abbreviation for the source and source mask 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255.

     
    Step 5 interface type number


    Example: 
    Device(config)# interface Gigabitethernet 0/0
     

    Configures an interface and enters interface configuration mode.

     
    Step 6 ip access-group access-list-number {in | out}


    Example: 
    Device(config-if)# ip access-group 1 in
     
    Applies the specified numbered access list to the incoming or outgoing interface.

    • When you filter based on source addresses, you typically apply the access list to an incoming interface.

     
    Step 7 end


    Example: 
    Device(config-if)# end
     

    Exits interface configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

      Step 3 ip access-list standard name


      Example: 
      Device(config)# ip access-list standard acl1
       

      Defines a standard IP access list and enters standard named access list configuration mode.

       
      Step 4 {deny | permit} {host address | any} log


      Example: 
      Device(config-std-nacl)# permit host 10.1.1.1 log
       

      Sets conditions in a named IP access list that will deny packets from entering a network or permit packets to enter a network, and configures the logging of informational messages about packets that match the access list entry at the device console.

       
      Step 5 exit


      Example: 
      Device(config-std-nacl)# exit
       

      Exits standard named access list configuration mode and enters global configuration mode.

       
      Step 6 interface type number


      Example: 
      Device(config)# interface Gigabitethernet 0/0

      Example: Limiting Debug Output

      The following sample configuration uses an access list to limit the debug command output. Limiting the debug output restricts the volume of data to what you are interested in, saving you time and resources. 

      Device(config)# ip access-list acl1
Device(config-std-nacl)# remark Displays only advertisements for LDP peer in acl1
Device(config-std-nacl)# permit host 10.0.0.44

Device# debug mpls ldp advertisements peer-acl acl1
