acltk

This library is meant to parse Cisco ACLs and apply filters on them.

INSTALLATION

Install

  • python 3.8
  • tatsu 5.5

OPERATION

from acltk import ACLConfig, cafBlock
config = ACLConfig.parse("acl.conf")
filter = cafBlock.parse("filter.caf")
r = cafBlock.run(config)

See examples/ for examples.

  • acl-filter.py - shows how to create acl filters manually. python3 examples/acl-filter.py tests/acl/all.conf
  • caf-filter.py - shows how to use acls combined with caf filters python3 examples/caf-filter.py tests/caf/nested.caf tests/acl/all.conf
  • render/static.py - jinja enabled rendering of the acls
  • render/dynamic.py - flask based webservice for rendering/filtering

CAF

caf is the Cisco ACL Filter language, designed to filter Cisco ACLs. Currently you can filter ACLs by

  • id name
  • ip src|dst {addr ["/" netmask]}+
  • ip src|dst ANY ANY4 ANY6 any any4 any6
  • ip ... "ANY*" is special, it will filter out "any" rules.

e.g.

(
    ip src ANY
    ip dst ANY
)

will match any any rule such as access-list inside_in permit tcp any any port 53

There are set operations defined on these sets, valid operations are: union intersect except

You can use braces to preference operations properly

( id A except ip src ANY ) union ( id B except ip src ANY )

C++ style multi line comments can be used to document caf filters.

/* we want all rules matching 10.1.0.0/24 on ids outside_in and inside_in
   without the rules matching any any
   without the rules which apply for 10.2.0.0/24
*/
(
    /* rules for 10.1.0.0/24 */
    (
        id outside_in
        ip dst 10.1.0.0/24
    )
    union
    (
        id inside_in
        ip src 10.1.0.0/24
    )
)
except
(
    (   /* any any */
        ip src ANY
        ip dst ANY
    )
)
except
(
    ip dst 10.2.0.0/24
    union
    ip src 10.2.0.0/24
)

DEVELOPMENT

Environment

python3 -m venv ~/venv-acltk/

Running unittests

In order to generate the all.txt config from the template all.jinja2 the test_acl.py has to be run,

cd tests/
PYTHONPATH=../lib/ ~/venv-acltk/bin/python -m unittest test_acl.py

it has to be re-run after changes made to all.jinja2 so all.txt gets updated.

Updating the Semtantics

Changes to the grammar require regeneration of the Semantics
