Port Acls - Cisco IE 3000 Software Configuration Manual

Understanding ACLs
An ACL contains an ordered list of access control entries (ACEs). Each ACE specifies permit or deny
and a set of conditions the packet must satisfy in order to match the ACE. The meaning of permit or deny
depends on the context in which the ACL is used.
The switch supports IP ACLs and Ethernet (MAC) ACLs:
•
•
This switch also supports quality of service (QoS) classification ACLs. For more information, see the
"Classification Based on QoS ACLs" section on page
These sections contain this conceptual information:

Port ACLs

Port ACLs are ACLs that are applied to Layer 2 interfaces on a switch. Port ACLs are supported only on
physical interfaces and not on EtherChannel interfaces and can be applied only on interfaces in the
inbound direction. These access lists are supported:
•
•
•
The switch examines ACLs associated with all inbound features configured on a given interface and
permits or denies packet forwarding based on how the packet matches the entries in the ACL. In this way,
ACLs control access to a network or to part of a network.
to control access to a network when all workstations are in the same VLAN. ACLs applied at the Layer
2 input would allow Host A to access the Human Resources network, but prevent Host B from accessing
the same network. Port ACLs can only be applied to Layer 2 interfaces in the inbound direction.

IP ACLs filter IPv4 traffic, including TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Internet Group
Management Protocol (IGMP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
Ethernet ACLs filter non-IP traffic.
