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)

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 to the implicit one?

Paul
