IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs)

 

Introduction

 

 

Notes

IPv4 ACLs can enhance network security by blocking selected traffic, and can

 

serve as part of your network security program. However, because ACLs do

 

not provide user or device authentication, or protection from malicious

 

manipulation of data carried in IPv4 packet transmissions, they should not

 

be relied upon for a complete security solution.

 

IPv4 ACLs on the switches covered by this manual do not filter non-IPv4 traffic

 

such as IPv6, AppleTalk, and IPX packets.
