[no] access-class access-list-number {in | out}

To restrict incoming and outgoing connections between a particular virtual terminal line (into a Cisco device) and the addresses in an access list, use the access-class line configuration command. To remove access restrictions, use the no form of this command.

access-list-
number
Number of an access list. This is a decimal number from 1 through 99.
in Restricts incoming connections between a particular Cisco device and the addresses in the access list.
out Restricts outgoing connections between a particular Cisco device and the addresses in the access list.

access-list-
number
Number of an access list. This is a decimal number from 100 through 199.
deny Denies access if the conditions are matched.
permit Permits access if the conditions are matched.
protocol Name or number of an IP protocol. It can be one of the keywords eigrp, gre, icmp, igmp, igrp, ip, ipinip, nos, ospf, tcp, or udp, or an integer in the range 0 through 255 representing an IP protocol number. To match any Internet protocol, including ICMP, TCP, and UDP, use the keyword ip. Some protocols allow further qualifiers described below.
source Number of the network or host from which the packet is being sent. There are three alternative ways to specify the source:

  • Use a 32-bit quantity in four-part dotted-decimal format.

  • Use the keyword any as an abbreviation for a source and source-wildcard of 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255.

  • Use host source as an abbreviation for a source and source-wildcard of source 0.0.0.0.

source-
wildcard

Wildcard bits to be applied to source. There are three alternative ways to specify the source wildcard:

  • Use a 32-bit quantity in four-part dotted-decimal format. Place ones in the bit positions you want to ignore.

  • Use the keyword any as an abbreviation for a source and source-wildcard of 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255.

  • Use host source as an abbreviation for a source and source-wildcard of source 0.0.0.0.

If the operator is positioned after the source and source-wildcard, it must match the source port.

If the operator is positioned after the destination and destination-wildcard, it must match the destination port.

The range operator requires two port numbers. All other operators require one port number.

port (Optional) The decimal number or name of a TCP or UDP port. A port number is a number from 0 to 65535. TCP port names are listed in the "TCP Port Names" table in the Router Products Command Reference publication. TCP port names can only be used when filtering TCP.
