Hi Guys,

Can somebody give an explanation why the VACL below blocks IP Fragments?


vlan access-map ICMP 10

 action drop

 match ip address 123

vlan access-map ICMP 20

 action forward

!

vlan filter ICMP vlan-list 1-4094


access-list 123 permit icmp any any unreachable


Setup is really simple:  R6 ---SW---R5

As you can see below only fragmented ICMP packets are dropped. If I remove
the VACL the ping will be successful for both cases (frag no frag).

In the captures I can see that R5 (8.9.5.5) receives the initial fragment
but the non initial fragments get dropped by the SW so after a while R6
will send a TTL Exceeded message back to R6.


R6#ping 8.9.5.5 repeat 5 size 1500

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 1500-byte ICMP Echos to 8.9.5.5, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

R6#ping 8.9.5.5 repeat 5 size 1501


Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 1501-byte ICMP Echos to 8.9.5.5, timeout is 2 seconds:

Thanks!
