Command Mode
IP Mask
Command Usage
• Packets crossing a port are checked against all the rules in the ACL until
a match is found. The order in which these packets are checked is
determined by the mask, and not the order in which the ACL rules were
entered.
• First create the required ACLs and ingress or egress masks before
mapping an ACL to an interface.
• If you enter dscp, you cannot enter tos or precedence. You can enter
both tos and precedence without dscp.
• Masks that include an entry for a Layer 4 protocol source port or
destination port can only be applied to packets with a header length of
exactly five bytes.
Example
This example creates an IP ingress mask with two rules. Each rule is checked
in order of precedence to look for a match in the ACL entries. The first entry
matching a mask is applied to the inbound packet.
This shows that the entries in the mask override the precedence in which the
rules are entered into the ACL. In the following example, packets with the
source address 10.1.1.1 are dropped because the “deny 10.1.1.1
255.255.255.255” rule has the higher precedence according the “mask host
any” entry.
