Perhaps I am mistaken for the majority of PIX firewall products, but on
the ones I have touched (515, 515e, 535), I just type in:
no access-list blah line 13 permit ip whatever
That command gets rid of line 13... without having to re-enter the entire
ACL at any time. Line 14 now becomes line 13. If there was no line 13,
then the ACL ends at line 12. You can also insert lines the same way, by
inserting at a line number
access-list blah line 13 permit tcp any any eq http
And that would enter in the new rule in "blah" at line 13. Whatever was
at 13 is now at 14, and so forth. Whatever was at 12 stays at line 12.

RE: Router config question
I have to ask, perhaps out of sheer ignorance; Why use Acces-list? Cisco
pushed them in an effort to depracate conduits, but I can enter conduits
on the fly, wothout re-entering the entire ACL everytime. I really want
outside input on this. Got a few big configs to move. Your thoughts?

Actually, shouldn't it read more like this:
Access-list 110 permit tcp any 10.0.1.10 255.255.255.255 eq 80
Access-list 110 permit tcp any 10.0.1.11 255.255.255.255 eq 25
Access-list 110 deny ip any any
Of course you would catch it when you hit enter on the router... ;-)

Erm... Shouldn't this read :
Access-list 110 permit tcp 80 10.0.1.10 255.255.255.255
Access-list 110 permit tcp 25 10.0.1.11 255.255.255.255
Access-list 110 deny ip any any
And as stated before those ACL Entries were for a bug in Cisco's ISO
Software, if you are running the most current IOS Version for your Router,
the issue has been long fixed and you no longer need those ACL's. However
if you are running your router as a router & Firewall in one you should
definately consider Dennis's advice and remove all ACL's and add only
permits for what you need (web, ssh, ftp, etc. etc.) and allow the
implicit deny all to drop the rest.

This is a little sloppy. If you don't have a dedicated firewall (and the
2611 is essentially your firewall) you should allow only what you need in,
and deny the rest. Not only is this leaps and bounds more secure, it
mitigates the need to deny specific ports. For example, if you have a
public mail and a public web server and email server...
Access-list 110 permit tcp 80 10.0.1.10 255.255.255.255 Access-list 110
permit tcp 24 10.0.1.11 255.255.255.255 Access-list 110 deny ip any any
The last line is already implied at the end of any access list, but having
it in your ACL reminds you of this, and also shows you a HITCOUNT.

Subject: Router config question
Hello, I inherited a Cisco 2611 that I have been trying to clean up and
understand the config on.
For a while I have been wondering why the following were being
specifically blocked...
access-list 110 deny 53 any any
access-list 110 deny 55 any any
access-list 110 deny 77 any any
access-list 110 deny pim any any
I was doing some reading trying to learn about PIM and found this link
which references a DOS vuln.
http://securecomputing.stanford.edu/alerts/cisco-update-17jul2003.html
Was this a way to circumvent the listed vuln.? the doc references IOS
below 12.3, as I am now above that - may I safely remove these denys?
Thanks
