5.12How to Configure Access Control List (ACL) for Packets Filtering

Access Control List (ACL) can be used as a simple packet filtering firewall to filter incoming traffic and prevent certain traffic from entering your network. ACL groups traffic into data flows according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port number, destination port number or incoming port number, and also define actions to be performed for a classified traffic flow.

The Switch checks traffic against the ACL rules in the order you list them.

In this example, you configure an ACL rule to identify all traffic coming from host A connected to port 9 and restrict the host’s access to a specific IPv4 network.
