Configure Access Control Lists
Access control lists (ACLs) ensure that only authorized users have access to specific
resources while blocking any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. ACLs are
used to provide traffic flow control, restrict contents of routing updates, decide which types of
traffic are forwarded or blocked, and above all provide security for the network. The switch
software supports IPv4 and MAC ACLs.
To configure an ACL, first create an IPv4-based or MAC-based ACL ID. Then, create a rule
and assign it to a unique ACL ID. Next, define the rules, which can identify protocols, source,
and destination IP and MAC addresses, and other packet-matching criteria. Finally, use the
ID number to assign the ACL to a port or to a LAG.
The ACL menu provides access to features described in the following sections:
•ACL Wizard
•MAC ACL
•MAC Rules
•MAC Binding Configuration
•MAC Binding Table
•IP ACL
•IP Rules
•IP Extended Rules
•IPv6 ACL
•IPv6 Rules
•IP Binding Configuration
•IP Binding Table

ACL Wizard

ACL Wizard helps you to create a simple ACL and apply it to the selected ports easily and
quickly. First, you can select an ACL type. Then, you can add an ACL rule to this ACL, and
the rule can be applied to this ACL on the selected ports. The ACL Wizard enables you to
create the ACL, but does not allow you to modify it. For more information about how to modify
the ACL, see the instructions on the ACL configuration screen.
