Troubleshooting TCP/IP Connectivity
If, after analyzing the access list, you can't see any problems but the prob-
lem is still occurring, you can temporarily remove the access list from the
interface to see what effect this has on the problem. If the problem disap-
pears after the access list is removed, something is wrong with the access list
and it needs to be fixed. If the problem does not go away with the removal
of the access list from the interface, you can eliminate it as a possible cause.
The commands used to view IP access lists are simply show running-
config
, show startup-config, or show ip access-list <access-list
number>
. These commands provide the information regarding each line of
the access list. In addition to these commands, you can issue the show ip
interface
command, which provides you with information regarding
which access lists are applied to the interface. Here is a sample output from
the show ip interface command:
