ACLs can have a profound effect on the performance of networks. ACL Management
automatically evaluates the effectiveness of rules and their effect on overall network
performance as you add rules to a rule set. You can also manually perform an analysis of a rule
set and optimize its effect on network performance using the Optimize feature. For more
information about using this feature, see " Optimizing the rules in a rule set ."
{
To delete one or more rules from a rule set, see " Deleting rules from an ACL rule set ."
15. Click Finish when you have finished modifying this rule set.
Copying rule sets
To simplify the process of creating new rule sets, you can make a copy of an existing rule set and copy
it to the same ACL and make modifications to create a new rule set.
To copy a rule set:
1. Navigate to ACL Resource:
a. Click the Service tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
b. Click ACL Management section of the navigation tree on the left.
c. Click the ACL Resource link located under ACL Management on the navigation tree on the left.
The ACL Resource list displays in the main pane of the ACL Resource page.
2. Click the ACL Identifier of the ACL for which you want to create a copy of a rule set.
The Rule Set List for the selected ACL displays in the main pane of the ACL Resource > <ACL
Resource Name (ACL Identifier)> page.
3. Click the icon in the Copy field associated with the rule set you want to copy.
You can make any modifications to the copy of a rule set that you can to the rule set itself, including
creating new rules. The steps for creating and modifying rule sets vary by the ACL type to which
the rule set belongs. For more information about modifying rules, see " Modifying ACL rule sets "
and specifically to the section that addresses how to modify the type of rule set you want to copy.
4. Click Finish when you have completed your modifications to the rule set copy.
Deploying rule sets
The Deploy link in the Rule Set List is a shortcut to the ACL Deployment wizard. For more information
about deploying an ACL, see " Deploying ACLs using IMC ACL deployment wizard ."
Importing rule sets
You can import the contents of an ACL template to an existing ACL, which accelerates and standardizes
the process for creating rule sets. You can only import a template of the same type as the ACL.
Importing a basic ACL template into a basic ACL
To import the contents of a basic template into a basic ACL:
1. Navigate to ACL Resource:
a. Click the Service tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
