Configure Access Control Lists

Access control lists (ACLs) ensure that only authorized users can access specific resources
while blocking off any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. ACLs are used to
provide traffic flow control, restrict contents of routing updates, decide which types of traffic
are forwarded or blocked, and above all provide security for the network. The switch's
software supports IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs.

To configure an ACL:
1. Create an IPv4-based or IPv6-based or MAC-based ACL ID.
2. Create a rule and assign it to a unique ACL ID.
3. Define the rules, which can identify protocols, source, and destination IP and MAC
addresses, and other packet-matching criteria.
4. Use the ID number to assign the ACL to a port or to a LAG.

Use the ACL Wizard to Create a Simple ACL

The ACL Wizard helps you create a simple ACL and apply it to the selected ports easily and
quickly. First, select an ACL type to use when you create an ACL. Then add an ACL rule to
this ACL and apply this ACL on the selected ports. The ACL Wizard allows you to create the
ACL, but does not allow you to modify it. To modify the ACL, go to the ACL Configuration
page. See Configure an IP ACL
Note: The steps in the following procedure describe how you can create an
ACL based on the destination MAC address. If you select a different
type of ACL (or example, an ACL based on a source IPv4), the page
displays different information.

To use the ACL Wizard to create an ACL:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
