Hi Ashish,
I agree with the discussion above. We need to add separate entries to permit or deny the rest of the traffic. The rule1 above only matches the source IP address. So, the ARP packets could be dropped. If this is the only IP address that you would like to allow, the following ACL could be considered.
entry iprule1 {
if {
source-address 10.1.2.246/32 ;
}
then {
permit ;
}
}
entry iprule2 {
if {
arp-sender-address 10.1.2.246/32;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
entry iprule3 {
if {
}
then {
deny;
}
}
If you want to allow ARP packets in general, the rule2 could be modified as below:
entry iprule2 {
if {
ethernet-type 0x0806;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
Hope this helps!
