RE: Border Router Question - Ingress Filtering

Yes, this will take care of everything unless of course they spoof the
permits or attack the established traffic like someone tried on me the other
day ...

They usually itemize the denies so there is better tracking, however this is
not always necessary.

I hope you have a big syslog server ... :-)

Subject: Border Router Question - Ingress Filtering

Border routers ACL In rule

Acl in
permit tcp any host ***.***.***.**6
permit tcp any host ***.***.***.**5
permit tcp any host ***.***.***.**4
permit tcp any host ***.***.***.**3
deny ip any any log

The firewall then filters on a port level.

My question is if they are denying all IPs other that what is specified in
the list is it necessary to then add the standard spoofing deny rules (ie
drop localhost, mulicast, RFC1918 addresses etc)? This will be taken care of
the deny ip any any rule would it not?
