Guys, I need some clarification here. I have already asked couple TAC guys but they either did not know the answer right away or they wanted to send me to another team who might answer it...
I have a single router. One LAN, one WAN. It is an 800 series router and IOS Firewall feature is turned on as follows:
ip inspect name IOS_Firewall tcp
ip inspect name IOS_Firewall udp
ip inspect name IOS_Firewall icmp
interface FastEthernet4
ip address dhcp
ip access-group 161 in
ip nat outside
ip inspect IOS_Firewall out
ip virtual-reassembly
duplex auto
speed auto
no cdp enable
crypto map mymap
access-list 161 permit udp any any eq ntp
access-list 161 permit udp any any eq bootpc
access-list 161 permit tcp any any established
access-list 161 permit icmp any any
access-list 161 permit esp any any
access-list 161 permit gre any any
access-list 161 permit udp any any eq isakmp
access-list 161 permit udp any any eq non500-isakmp
access-list 161 permit udp any eq non500-isakmp any
access-list 161 permit udp any eq isakmp any
access-list 161 permit udp any eq domain any
access-list 161 permit tcp any any eq telnet
access-list 161 permit tcp any any eq 1723
access-list 161 permit tcp any any eq 4500
access-list 161 permit tcp any any eq 5000
access-list 161 permit tcp any any eq 5500
access-list 161 deny ip any any log
My question is, is the statement "access-list 161 permit tcp any any established" required since I already have the IOS Firewall feature turned on?
Thank you
