Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide Managing Client QoS ACLs
Managing Client QoS ACLs
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 UAP 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 ore 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.
MAC ACLs
MAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can configure the rules to inspect fields of a frame such as the source or
destination MAC address, the VLAN ID, or the Class of Service 802.1p priority. When a frame enters or exits the
AP port (depending on whether the ACL is applied in the up or down direction), the AP inspects the frame and
checks the ACL rules against the content of the frame. If any of the rules match the content, a permit or deny
action is taken on the frame.
ACL Configuration Process
Configure ACLs and rules on the Client QoS ACL page (steps 1 – 5 ), and then apply the rules to a specified VAP
on the AP QoS Parameters page (step 6).
Use the following general steps to configure ACLs:
1. Specify a name for the ACL.
2. Select the type of ACL to add.
3. Add the ACL
4. Add new rules to the ACL.
5. Configure the match criteria for the rules.
6. Apply the ACL to one or more VAPs.
For an example of how to configure an ACL, see "ACL Configuration" on page 174
To configure an ACL, click the Client QoS ACL tab.
