Standard named acl

As explained in Acing the CCNA Exam: Volume 1 Fundamentals and Protocols

A named access control list is an access control list identified by a name and configured through a dedicated ACL configuration mode.

A standard named access control list (ACL) identifies the ACL with a name and matches packets using only their source IP address. Unlike a numbered ACL, it is created globally, then configured through a separate standard named ACL configuration mode. section 23.2.2 section 23.1.4

Configure and use a standard named ACL in this order:

  • Create it with `ip access-list standard name`. section 23.2.2
  • Add ACEs with `permit` or `deny`, a source IP address, and an optional wildcard mask. section 23.2.2
  • Use sequence numbers when you need to control ACE placement; default sequence numbers begin at 10 and increase by 10. section 23.2.2
  • Apply the ACL to an interface with `ip access-group name in|out`; configuration alone does not filter traffic. section 23.2 section 23.4
  • Verify it with `show access-lists`, optionally specifying the ACL name. section 23.2.2 section 23.4

Blocking two users while permitting everyone else

On R2, enter `ip access-list standard BLOCK_MARTHA_BOB`, then configure `deny 192.168.1.11`, `deny 192.168.2.17`, and `permit any`. Apply it inbound with `ip access-group BLOCK_MARTHA_BOB in`. The resulting ACL uses sequence numbers 10, 20, and 30, respectively. section 23.2.2

R2(config)# ip access-list standard BLOCK_MARTHA_BOB       #1
R2(config-std-nacl)# deny 192.168.1.11                     #2
R2(config-std-nacl)# deny 192.168.2.17                     #2
R2(config-std-nacl)# permit any                            #3
R2(config-std-nacl)# do show access-lists BLOCK_MARTHA_BOB
Standard IP access list BLOCK_MARTHA_BOB
    10 deny   192.168.1.11
    20 deny   192.168.2.17
    30 permit any
#1 Creates the standard named ACL
#2 Denies Martha and Bob
#3 Permits all other traffic

How Acing the CCNA Exam: Volume 1 Fundamentals and Protocols covers it

How deep it goes
Explains creation, ACE ordering, application, and verification, stopping short of deeper packet-processing internals.
Examples
Uses Cisco IOS scenarios that block departments, individual users, or interdepartmental traffic while permitting other sources.
What you can do after
Configure and verify named IPv4 source filters on router interfaces using Cisco IOS commands.
How it connects
Connects standard ACLs with named ACLs, numbered ACLs, extended ACLs, wildcard masks, and interface directions.
