Configuring ACLs
Creating Standard and Extended IP ACLs
This section describes how to create switch IP ACLs. The switch tests packets against the conditions in
an access list one by one. The first match determines whether the switch accepts or rejects the packet.
Because the switch stops testing conditions after the first match, the order of the conditions is critical.
If no conditions match, the switch denies the packet.
Follow these steps to use ACLs:
Step1 Create an ACL by specifying an access list number or name and access conditions.
Step2 Apply the ACL to interfaces or terminal lines.
The software supports these kinds of IP access lists:
•Standard IP access lists use source addresses for matching operations.
•Extended IP access lists use source and destination addresses for matching operat ions and optional
protocol-type information for finer granularity of control.
Note MAC extended access list use source and destination MAC addresses and optional protocol type
information for matching operations. For more information, see the “Creating Named MAC Extended
ACLs” section on page 22-17.
The next sections describe access lists and the steps for using them.

ACL Numbers

The number you use to denote your ACL shows the type of access list that you are creating. Table 22-2
lists the access list number and corresponding type and shows wheth er or not they are supported by the
switch. The switch supports IP standard and IP extended access lists, numbers 1 to 199 and 1300 to 2699.
