Defining Access Control
Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification 
actions and rules for specific ingress ports. Your switch supports up to 256 ACLs. 
Packets entering an ingress port, with an active ACL, are either admitted or denied 
entry. If they are denied entry, the user can disable the port. ACLs are composed 
of Access Control Entries (ACEs) that are made of the filters that determine traffic 
classifications. The total number of ACEs that can be defined in all ACLs together 
is 256.
The Access Control section contains the following pages:
• Defining MAC Based ACL
• Defining IP Based ACL
• Defining ACL Binding
Defining MAC Based ACL
The 
MAC Based ACL Page
 allows a MAC-based Access Control List (ACL) to be 
defined. The table lists Access Control Elements (ACE) rules, which can be added 
only if the ACL is not bound to an interface.
