View Full Version : Question about ACLs and Router Interfaces

Hey all,

Probably a really stupid question, but I'm getting *extremely* confused over this point.

When grouping an ACL to an interface, how do I know which one to choose? And what *exactly* is the difference between inbound and outbound?

For example, if I have networks 172.6.7.0, and 172.6.15.0 attached to two of the router's interfaces, and I want to set up a standard ACL that blocks access from the network 172.6.7.0 to the network 172.6.15.0 - would I set up the ACL at the interface that 172.6.15.0 is attached to and set it on the outbound?

I'd appreciate any clarifications.
