Adding a new ACL
When a packet is received by the switch, the switch compares the packet against the ACL to verify
the packet has the required permissions to be forwarded. Often, ACLs need to be added as client
permission changes during switch operation.
To create a new ACL:
1. Select Security > Wireless Firewall from the main tree menu.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click on the ACL tab to view the list of ACLs currently associated with the switch.
4. Click the Add button.
5. Select an ACL Type from the drop-down menu. The following options are available:
• Standard IP List – Uses source IP addresses for matching operations.
• Extended IP List – Uses source and destination IP addresses and optional protocol
information for matching operations.
• MAC Extended List – Uses source and destination MAC addresses, VLAN ID and optional
protocol information.
6. Enter a numeric index name for the ACL in the ACL ID field.
7. Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field
displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and
the switch.
8. Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
9. Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
Adding a new ACL rule
