Access Control List configuration
Access control lists (ACL) are sequential lists consisting of permit and deny rules. They are either
Layer 3 (IP)- or Layer 2 (MAC)-specific. You can configure multiple access lists and rules and store
them in the configuration.
Some of the benefits of ACLs include the following:
• ACLs provide a measure of security.
• ACLs save network resources by reducing traffic.
• ACLs block unwanted traffic and users.
• ACLs reduce the chance of attacks.
You create an ACL on a switch and then you can apply the configuration to ports, and link
aggregation groups (LAGs) on that switch.
Adding an ACL to a switch
1. Select Configure > CEE Switch > CEE from the menu bar.
The CEE Configuration dialog box displays, showing the status of all CEE-related hardware and
functions.
2. Select a switch, and click Edit.
3. Click the Access Control List tab on the Edit Switch dialog box.
The Access Control List dialog box displays.
