Configuring Access Control Lists

Access Control Lists (ACLs) ensure that only authorized users have access to 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
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS switches software supports IPv4, IPv6,
and MAC ACLs.
You first create an IPv4-based or MAC-based ACL ID. Then, you create a rule and assign it to
a unique ACL ID. Next, you define the rules, which can identify protocols, source, and
destination IP and MAC addresses, and other packet-matching criteria. Finally, use the ID
number to assign the ACL to a port or to a LAG.
