Port Acls - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

About ACLs
ACLs permit or deny packet forwarding based on how the packet matches the entries in the ACL. For
example, you can use access lists to allow one host to access a part of a network, but prevent another
host from accessing the same part. In
access the Human Resources network, but prevent Host B from accessing the same network.

Port ACLs

You can also apply ACLs to Layer 2 interfaces on a switch. Port ACLs are supported on physical
interfaces and EtherChannel interfaces. The following access lists are supported on Layer 2 interfaces:
•
•
•
•
Note Negative TCP flags such as -syn, -psh or -fin in ACEs are not considered when you apply port ACLs,
We recommend that you use positive TCP flags in ACEs.
As with router ACLs, the switch examines ACLs associated with features configured on a given interface
and permits or denies packet forwarding based on how the packet matches the entries in the ACL. In the
example in
would allow Host A to access the Human Resources network, but prevent Host B from accessing the
same network.
