Solved: Acl's being altered by router upon entering them

beheer · ‎02-12-2008

Hi All,

I'm setting up a number of vpn/ipsec tunnels on a cisco 876.

When I enter the necessary acl's, I get no error, but when I check my running config, the router seems to have altered the acl.

Here's what happens:

Router(config)#access-list 111 remark *** Tunnel naar Takman Ommen ***

Router(config)#access-list 111 permit ip 192.168.26.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.28.0 255.255.255.0

Router(config)#end

Router#sh access-l

Extended IP access list 111

10 permit ip 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

Running the Version 12.4(15)T1.

Config attached.

Hi,

Simply you are not matching any specific criteria here, looking at your config:-

permit ip 192.168.26.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.28.0 255.255.255.0

you are saying (I dont care about 192.168.26 at your ACL), its not a subnet mask equation, but rather its a wildcard bits match.

The correct one as bellow:

access-list 111 permit ip 192.168.26.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.28.0 0.0.0.255

I have seen this behavior and as said above it is due to the use of subnet masks instead of inverse wildcard masks while defining the access-list

These are common errors particularly if you are used to work on PIX/ASA where we do not use inverse masks
