4.6 ACL

An ACL consists of a set of rules which are matched sequentially against a packet. When a packet meets the match criteria of a rule, the specified rule action (Permit/Deny) is taken and the additional rules are not checked for a match. On this menu the interfaces to which an ACL applies must be specified, as well as whether it applies to inbound or outbound traffic. Rules for the ACL are specified/created using the ACL Rule Configuration menu.
