z  When an ACL is directly applied to hardware for packet filtering, the switch will permit packets if the 
packets do not match the ACL.  
z  When an ACL is referenced by upper-layer software to control Telnet, SNMP and Web login users, 
the switch will deny packets if the packets do not match the ACL. 
 
Types of ACLs Supported by Switch 4210 Series 
Switch 4210 Series support the following types of ACLs. 
z  Basic ACLs 
z  Advanced ACLs 
z  Layer 2 ACLs 
Note that ACLs defined on Switch 4210 Series can be applied to hardware directly or referenced by 
upper-layer software for packet filtering. 
ACL Configuration 
Configuring Time Range 
Time ranges can be used to filter packets. You can specify a time range for each rule in an ACL. A time 
range-based ACL takes effect only in specified time ranges. Only after a time range is configured and 
the system time is within the time range, can an ACL rule take effect.  
Two types of time ranges are available: 
z  Periodic time range, which recurs periodically on the day or days of the week.  
z  Absolute time range, which takes effect only in a period of time and does not recur. 
 
 
An absolute time range on Switch 4210 Series can be within the range 1970/1/1 00:00 to 2100/12/31 
24:00.
