Hi All, I've got 2 routers connected together in this way:
R3 -------R1---------------------R2
how can I stop router 2 from accessing R3?
my idea was to add a new entry in the R1 routing table (called SOURCE) where I would make an entry that says: if source is R2 and destination is R3, loopback. Is this solution good?
i forgot to add, that the question does not regard LOOPBACK (because I think that it is a good choice), the question regards the fact that I want to add a SOURCE field in the router table
Remember that ACL is a form of firewall and one should not use firewalls to stop access from certain parts when by design they should not be accessible. One resots to firewalls to stop unsolicited access. Wanting to block a particular path should be done at the routing table level but not as suggested by I defintely.

Basically we share the same idea. Except mine does not return the package, but rather try to send it to an invalid IP, causing an 'host unreachable' error.
