Configuring the ACL configuration type and operations

To configure the ACL configuration type and operation, complete the following steps.

1.Select the configuration type by choosing one of the following options:

•Incremental — Deploys add and delete operations. During deployment, the Management application checks all ACLs to determine if the ACL name or number matches any ACL number already deployed on a switch.

If the ACL name or number matches, the following actions occur:

Add operation — The ACL on the switch is overwritten by the one in configuration during deployment.

Delete operation — Deletes the ACL from the switch during deployment.

No Action operation — Skips the ACL during deployment; however, if you save the deployment the ‘no action’ ACL remains part of the configuration and can be added or deleted at a later date.

If the ACL name or number does not match, the following actions occur:

Add operation — The ACL is appended on the switch.

No Action operation — Skips the ACL during deployment; however, if you save the deployment the ‘no action’ ACL remains part of the configuration and can be added or deleted at a later date.

•Overwrite — Only deploys add operations. During deployment, the Management application clears all ACLs currently on the switch and then applies the new configuration.
