Adding A Cpu Ethernet Acl Profile - D-Link xStack Reference Manual

xStack® DGS-3120 Series Layer 2 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide
NOTE: CPU Interface Filtering is used to control traffic access to the switch directly such as protocols
transition or management access. A CPU interface filtering rule won't impact normal L2/3 traffic
forwarding. However, an improper CPU interface filtering rule may cause the network to become
unstable.
To view CPU Access Profile List window, click ACL > CPU Access Profile List as shown below:
Creating an access profile for the CPU is divided into two basic parts. The first is to specify which part or parts of a
frame the Switch will examine, such as the MAC source address or the IP destination address. The second part is
entering the criteria the Switch will use to determine what to do with the frame. The entire process is described below.
Users may globally enable or disable the CPU Interface Filtering State mechanism by using the radio buttons to
change the running state. Choose Enabled to enable CPU packets to be scrutinized by the Switch and Disabled to
disallow this scrutiny.
The fields that can be configured are described below:
