Re: [lopsa-tech] implicit or explicit deny?

Guess it depends on whether you take adefault deny or default allow stance. I've always been a default deny typeand everybody here tends to follow that convention. So, its implicitly deny everything, and explicit allow only that which is expressly permitted. Though there are a few plac

I always prefer the explicit Deny - it makes troubleshooting at 3am so much easier when you see the rule right there and don't have to remember if something negated (Cisco I'm looking at you) the explicit deny somewhere (or even that it exists) On 3/22/2012 4:25 PM, Paul Graydon wrote: Aloha,

Re: [lopsa-tech] implicit or explicit deny?

My first thought would be whether or not you want to do anything with that traffic. ie: log that it's being denied, etc. Implicit deny rules are usually silent, for example, and counters may or may not be available. On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 4:25 PM, Paul Graydon wrote: > I was tasked with clear

Aloha, I was tasked with clearing up some ambiguities in our firewalls. Nothing too major, just some irritating stuff for the most part (commenting all the rules etc), but I got to wondering: Which is better practice, to have an explicit Deny / Deny at the end of an access list, or leave it

I use paper for regular notes and a simple text file for frequently used commands. Paper is also quite handy for rack and network diagrams as you can always scan them as needed. Paper, for all of its drawbacks, is future-proof. And, if you use the right type of paper (acid-free) and ink (Unib
