Mirror image ACLs

To ensure that SAs can be set up and the traffic protected by IPsec locally can be processed correctly at

the remote peer, it is recommended on the remote peer to create a mirror image ACL rule for each ACL

rule created at the local peer. As shown in

Figure 4

, ACL rules on Router B are mirror images of the rules

on Router A. This ensures that SAs can be created successfully for the traffic between Host A and Host C

and the traffic between Network 1 and Network 2.

Figure 4 Mirror image ACLs

If the ACL rules on peers do not form mirror images of each other, SAs can be set up only when both of

the following requirements are met:

The range specified by an ACL rule on one peer is covered by its counterpart ACL rule on the other
peer. As shown in

Figure 5

, the range specified by the ACL rule configured on Router A is covered

by its counterpart on Router B.

The peer with the narrower rule initiates SA negotiation. If a wider ACL rule is used by the SA
initiator, the negotiation request may be rejected because the matching traffic is beyond the scope

of the responder. As shown in

Figure 5

, the SA negotiation initiated by Host A to Host C is accepted

while the SA negotiations from Host C to Host B or from Host D to Host A is rejected.
