Re: CBAC vs. Reflexive ACL

Hi Wael,
I think you should use reflexive acls as much as you can. however, I don'
think it's a good option to use the ip local policy routep-map xxx keyword.
Instead. manually permit the traffic inbound on the desired interface.

The reason for that is simple: all local traffic will matching the acl will
make the reflexive entry to be added. the bad part of is is that even a
packet matching the acl and an exiting an interface different from where the
reflexive acl is applied, will also have the reflexive acl incremented. Ex .
the reflexive acl is applied in f0/0. if a packet leaves F0/1 and matches
the acl ( ex. permit tcp any any ) will make the f0/0 interface have the
reflected acl for that packet.

I don' know if in the exam you fail for that. maybe someone else might
answer ! If I were you, i'd do the static permits inbound.

CBAC does not create an acl, instead it records the state of the flow
traversing the interface. It' a bit different from the acls, because it does
not consider only layer 3 and 4.

ex. if your question says to configure an ACL, CBAC is not an option.

HTH,

Daniel
