Workflow to Configure ACLs
Use the ACL Rule(s) to configure the ACLs, and then apply the rules to a specified interface.
To configure the ACLs follow these steps:
Step 1
Select
Access Control > ACL
.
Step 2
In the ACL Table, click
✚
to add a new row and create an ACL.
Step 3
Enter a name for the ACL.
Step 4
Select the ACL type from the drop down list (
IPv4, IPv6
or
MAC
).
Step 5
Click
✚
, select the associated interfaces to apply the ACL, and click
OK
. If you want to change the associated interfaces,
you can click
━
to delete the selected interfaces, and click
✚
to choose the new associated interfaces.
Step 6
Click
More
to view the ACL's parameters.
Step 7
Next, to configure the rules for the ACL. For IPv4 ACLs, see
Configure IPv4 ACLs, on page 82
. For IPv6 ACLs, see
Configure IPv6 ACLs, on page 84
. For MAC ACLs, see
Configure MAC ACLs, on page 87
.
Step 8
Click
Apply
to save all changes.
Configure IPv4 ACLs
To configure an IPv4 ACL:
Step 1
Select
Access Control > ACL
.
Step 2
Click
✚
to add an ACL.
Step 3
In the
ACL Name
field, enter the name of the ACL. The name is limited to 31 alphanumeric and special characters
without any space.
Step 4
Choose
IPv4
as the
ACL Type
from the ACL Type list. The IPv4 ACL's control access to the network resources are
based on the Layer 3 and Layer 4 criteria.
Step 5
Click
✚
and select the associated interfaces to apply the ACL. Click
OK
. If you want to change the associated interfaces,
you can click
━
to delete the selected interface, and click
✚
to choose new associated interfaces.
Step 6
Click
More...
to view the configuration parameters. Click
✚
to add a rule and configure the following:
If no rules are added, the WAP denies all the traffic by default.
Note
•
Rule Priority
— When an ACL has multiple rules, the rules are applied to the packet or frame in order of priority.
A smaller number means a higher priority. The priority of the new rule will be the lowest of all explicit rules. Note
that there is always an implicit rule denying all traffic with lowest priority.
•
Action
— Choose whether to
Deny
or
Permit
the action. The default action is
Deny
.
When you choose
Permit
, the rule allows all traffic that meets the rule criteria to enter the WAP device. Traffic that
does not meet the criteria is dropped.
When you choose
Deny
, the rule blocks all traffic that meets the rule criteria from entering the WAP device. Traffic
that does not meet the criteria is forwarded unless this rule is the final rule. Because there is an implicit deny all rule
at the end of every ACL, traffic that is not explicitly permitted is dropped.
