Section 3: Configuring the Access Point
ACL
ACLs are a collection of permit and deny conditions called rules, that provide
security by blocking unauthorized users and allowing authorized users to
access specific resources ACLs can block any unwarranted attempts to reach
network resources
The access point supports up to 50 IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs
IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs
IP ACLs classify traffic for Layers 3 and 4
Each ACL is a set of up to 10 rules applied to traffic sent from a wireless client
or to be received by a wireless client Each rule specifies whether the contents
of a given field should be used to permit or deny access to the network Rules
can be based on various criteria and may apply to one or more fields within a
packet, such as the source or destination IP address, the source or destination
L4 port, or the protocol carried in the packet
