Command History
Usage Guidelines By default, no IPv4 ACLs are applied to an interface.
You can use the ip port access-group command to apply an IPv4 ACL as a port ACL to the following
interface types:
• Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces
• Layer 2 EtherChannel interfaces
You can also apply an IPv4 ACL as a VLAN ACL. For more information, see the match command.
The switch applies port ACLs to inbound traffic only. The switch checks inbound packets against the
rules in the ACL. If the first matching rule permits the packet, the switch continues to process the packet.
If the first matching rule denies the packet, the switch drops the packet and returns an ICMP
host-unreachable message.
If you delete the specified ACL from the switch without removing the ACL from an interface, the deleted
ACL does not affect traffic on the interface.
Examples This example shows how to apply an IPv4 ACL named ip-acl-01 to Ethernet interface 1/2 as a port ACL:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
switch(config-if)# ip port access-group ip-acl-01 in
access-list-name Name of the IPv4 ACL, which can be up to 64 alphanumeric, case-sensitive
characters long.
in Specifies that the ACL applies to inbound traffic.
