Command History
Usage Guidelines You can apply named or numbered standard or extended access lists to an interface. To define an access
list by name, use the ip access-list global configuration command. To define a numbered access list, use
the access list global configuration command. You can used numbered standard access lists ranging
from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999 or extended access lists ranging from 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699.
You can use this command to apply an access list to a Layer 2 or Layer 3 interface. However, note these
limitations for Layer 2 interfaces (port ACLs):
• You can only apply ACLs in the inbound direction; the out keyword is not supported for Layer 2
interfaces.
• You can only apply one IP ACL and one MAC ACL per interface.
• Layer 2 interfaces do not support logging; if the log keyword is specified in the IP ACL, it is
ignored.
• An IP ACL applied to a Layer 2 interface only filters IP packets. To filter non-IP packets, use the
mac access-group interface configuration command with MAC extended ACLs.
You can apply IP ACLs to both outbound or inbound Layer 3 interfaces.
A Layer 2 interface can have only one IP ACL applied (in the inbound direction). A Layer 3 interface
can have one IP ACL applied in each direction.

1300 to 2699.
name The name of an IP ACL, specified in the ip access-list global configuration
command.
