XNS Commands


This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax of each XNS command. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Router Products Command Reference publication.

access-list access-list-number {deny | permit}
source-network[.source-address [source-address-mask]]
[destination-network[.destination-address
[destination-address-mask]]]
no access-list access-list-number

To define a standard XNS access list, use the standard version of the access-list global configuration command. To remove a standard access list, use the no form of this command.

access-list-number

Number of the access list. This is a decimal number from 400 to 499.

deny

Denies access if the conditions are matched.

permit

Permits access if the conditions are matched.

source-network

Number of the network from which the packet is being sent. This is a 32-bit decimal number. You can omit leading zeros. A network number of -1 matches all networks.

Note that you enter the network number in decimal, and this number is expressed in decimal format in our configuration files and routing tables. However, the router internally converts the network number into hexadecimal. Network analyzers also display the network number in hexadecimal.

source-address

(Optional) Host on source-network from which the packet is being sent. This is a 48-bit hexadecimal value represented as a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx).

source-address-mask

(Optional) Mask to be applied to source-address. This is a 48-bit value represented as a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). Place ones in the bit positions you want to mask.

destination-network

(Optional) Number of the network to which the packet is being sent. This is a 32-bit decimal number. A network number of -1 matches all networks.

You can omit leading zeros from the network number.

Note that you enter the network number in decimal, and this number is expressed in decimal format in our configuration files and routing tables. However, the router internally converts the network number into hexadecimal. Network analyzers also display the network number in hexadecimal.

destination-address

(Optional) Host on destination-network to which the packet is being sent. This is a 48-bit hexadecimal value represented as a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx).

destination-address-mask

(Optional) Mask to be applied to destination-address. This is a 48-bit value represented as a dotted triplet of four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). Place ones in the bit positions you want to mask.

[destination-network [.destination-host
[destination-network-mask.destination-host-mask]

You can omit leading from the network number.

Note that you enter the network number in decimal, and this number is expressed in decimal format in our configuration files and routing tables. However, the router internally converts the network number into hexadecimal. This means, for instance, that a network analyzer will display the network number in hexadecimal.

four-digit hexadecimal numbers (xxxx.xxxx.xxxx). Place ones in the bit positions you want to mask.

Number of the socket from which the packet is being sent. This is a 16-bit decimal value. See the documentation accompanying your host's XNS implementation for a list of socket numbers.

destination-network

(Optional) Number of the network to which the packet is being sent. This is a 32-bit decimal number. A network number of -1 matches all networks.

You can omit leading zeros from the network number.

Note that you enter the network number in decimal, and this number is expressed in decimal format in our configuration files and routing tables. However, the router internally converts the network number into hexadecimal. This means, for instance, that a network analyzer will display the network number in hexadecimal.
