IP ACL

IP ACLs allow network managers to define classification actions and rules for specific ingress ports. Packets can be filtered on ingress (inbound) ports only. If the filter rules match, then some actions can be taken, including dropping the packet or disabling the port. For example, a network administrator defines an ACL rule that says port number 20 can receive TCP packets. However, if a UDP packet is received the packet is dropped.

ACLs are composed of access control entries (ACE), or rules, that consist of the filters that determine traffic classifications.

Use the IP ACL Configuration screen to add or remove IP-based ACLs.

To configure an IP ACL:

1. Select Security > ACL > Advanced > IP ACL.

The IP ACL area shows the current size of the ACL table versus the maximum size of the ACL table. The current size is equal to the number of configured IPv4 ACLs plus the number of configured MAC ACLs. The maximum size is 100.

2.In the IP ACL ID field, specify the ACL ID. The ID is an integer in the following range:

1–99. Creates an IP Standard ACL, which allows you to permit or deny traffic from a source IP address.

100–199. Creates an IP Extended ACL, which allows you to permit or deny specific types of layer 3 or layer 4 traffic from a source IP address to a destination IP address. This type of ACL provides more granularity and filtering capabilities than the standard

IP ACL.

3.Click Add..

Each configured ACL displays the following information:

Rules. Displays the number of rules currently configured for the IP ACL.

Type. Identifies the ACL as either a standard or extended IP ACL.

To delete an IP ACL

1.Select the check box next to the IP ACL ID field.

2.Click Delete.
