ACL to prevent InterVLAN Routing and enable access to Internet

[Ranjita]

Hi All,

I have multiple VLANs and OSPF running on a L3 Switch. I want to prevent VLAN's 1,2 and 3 communicating with each other but each of the VLAN's should reach an external network via OSPF.

I tried configuring an ACL to prevent inter-VLAN routing but in that case my connection to the external network is also lost.

ip access-list extended AAA

deny ip any <SVI of VLAN B>

permit ip any any

exi

int vlan A

ip access-group AAA in

exi

I have tried to block just one VLAN for now but not successful.

Could anyone please help me with it?

From a high level your access list looks appropriate. But we do not have enough detailed information to identify the issue you are experiencing. Assuming that your vlans are using private addressing please tell us the IP addressing of the vlans (there is no need to disguise private addressing). And please post the exact syntax of your acl (

<SVI of VLAN B>

hides details that we need to know).

Hi,

Thanks for the response,let me add that in

ip access-list extended VLAN_A

deny ip any 10.169.10.128 255.255.255.192

permit ip any any

exit

int vlan 100

ip access-group VLAN_A in

exit

Acl apply to SVI can  not filter traffic toward SVI İp but it can filter traffic bypass SVI. 

Here you can config acl in link toward aaa server not in SVI.

Hi ,

Thanks for the response,that was just a poor way of naming my ACL.
I have posted the exact config,please check above thread.

10.169.10.128 <<- this for SVI vlan B?

If yes then only make acl direction OUT not IN 

[Ranjita]

Yes it is the

SVI for VLAN B

,do we have to retain the

permit ip any any?

I can still communicate between VLANs even after I change acl to OUT

Can I see last config and

IP of svi vlan a and b

The biggest issue is the mask used

deny ip any 10.169.10.128 255.255.255.192

which is a subnet mask. ACL should use

mask 0.0.0.127.

The access-group could be applied either IN or OUT. Whether the vlan B subnet is the source address or the destination address will depend on whether it is applied IN or OUT. If applied IN then it examines traffic come from connected hosts into the switch and vlan B wold be destination. If applied OUT then it examines traffic going from switch out to connected hosts and vlan B source.

And yes you do need to keep the

permit ip any any

[MHM Cisco World · Accepted solution]

deny ip 10.169.10.128 255.255.255.192

any (check @Richard Burts note about wildcard)

permit ip any any

int vlan 100

ip access-group VLAN_A OUT
