An Access Control List (ACL) is a sequential list of permit or deny

conditions that apply to IP addresses, MAC addresses, or other more

specific criteria. This switch tests ingress packets against the conditions in

an ACL one by one. A packet will be accepted as soon as it matches a

permit rule, or dropped as soon as it matches a deny rule. If no rules

match, the frame is accepted. Other actions can also be invoked when a

matching packet is found, including rate limiting, copying matching packets

to another port or to the system log, or shutting down a port.

Use the ACL Port Configuration page to define a port to which matching

frames are copied, enable logging, or shut down a port when a matching

frame is seen. Note that rate limiting (configured with the Rate Limiter

menu,

page 100

) is implemented regardless of whether or not a matching

packet is seen.
