Viewing Reflexive Access Lists

Sep 09,2009 by alperen

Reflexive access lists can be displayed using the show access-list command. No reflexive access list entries will appear if no outbound traffic has triggered the reflexive access list. After a HTTP session is initiated from within the network, the show access-list command could display the following:

Extended IP access list lan-in
 permit icmp any 195.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 echo-response
 permit tcp any host 195.168.1.20 eq 80 (7 matches)
 permit bgp any any (4 matches)
 evaluate ok-packets
Extended IP access list lan-out
 permit tcp 195.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 80 reflect ok-packets timeout 180
 permit tcp 195.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 53 reflect ok-packets
Reflexive IP access list ok-packets
 permit tcp host 201.37.14.127 eq www host 195.168.52 eq 80 (5 matches)
   (time left 140 seconds)
Reflexive Access Lists Caveats

Some applications, like FTP, allow port numbers to be changed during a session, meaning the port numbers of returning packets aren’t the same as the originating packet. Reflexive access lists can’t resolve this and the return packet will be denied—even if it’s part of the same session. Passive FTP is an option that will work with reflexive access lists if the FTP site supports it.

Reflexive access lists can’t examine data in the packet beyond the Layer 4 (OSI model) information, such as TCP and UDP port numbers and the related IP addresses. They can’t follow the application as you just saw with the FTP discussion in the preceding paragraph.
