ok. For instance to allow ping outbound, we would have one outbound ACL with :
access-list 101 permit icmp any any echo and another inbound with: access-list 102 permit icmp any any echo-reply This would allow the responses to our outbound pings but stop anyone from the outside from initiateing a ping to a device behind ACL 102.
