Access Control List
The section describes how to configure Access Control List rules. An Access Control List (ACL) is a
sequential list of conditions that permit or deny that apply to IP addresses, MAC addresses, or other
more specific criteria. The switch tests ingress packets against the conditions in an ACL one by one. A
packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny
rule. If no rules match, the frame is accepted. Other actions can also be invoked when a matching
packet is found, including rate limiting, copying matching packets to another port or to the system log,
or shutting down a port.
This page shows the Access Control List (ACL), which is made up of the ACEs defined on the switch.
Each row describes the defined ACE. The maxim um number of ACEs is 256 on each switch. Click on
the lowest plus sign to add a new ACE to the list. The reserved ACEs used for internal protocols,
cannot be edited or deleted, the order sequence cannot be changed and have the highest priority.
To configure Access Control List via the web interface:
1. Navigate to Configuration > ACL > Access Control List .
2. Click the button to add a new ACL, or use the other ACL modification buttons to specify the editing
action (i.e., edit, delete, or moving the relative position of entry in the list).
3. Specific the parameters of the ACE.
4. Click
Apply or click Reset to revert to previously saved values. 0.
When editing an entry on the ACE Configuration page, note that the items displayed depend on various
selections, such as Frame Type and IP Protocol type. Specify the relevant criteria to match for this rule
and set the actions to take when matching a rule (such as Rate Limiter, Port Copy, Logging, and
Shutdown).
