Configuration Expert. A rule's number is included in the Rule # box of the IPX ACL Rule
panel when you are defining that rule.
Applying ACLs to IP or IPX Interfaces
Defining an ACL specifies what sort of traffic to permit or deny. However, an ACL has no
effect unless it is applied to an interface. An ACL can be applied to examine either

traffic is traffic that is going out of the router. When you apply an ACL to an interface, you
implicitly enable access control on that interface.
In general, you should try to apply ACLs at the inbound interfaces instead of the
outbound interfaces. If a packet is to be denied, you want to drop the packet as early as
possible, at the inbound interface. Otherwise, the router will have to process the packet,
