Configuring ACLs
The Web interface provides the following ACL configuration functions:
• Configuring an IPv4 ACL
• Configuring a rule for a basic IPv4 ACL
• Configuring a rule for an advanced IPv4 ACL
• Configuring a rule for an Ethernet frame header ACL
Overview
An access control list (ACL) is a set of rules (or permit or deny statements) for identifying traffic based on
criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, and port number.
ACLs are essentially used for packet filtering. A packet filter drops packets that match a deny rule and
permits packets that match a permit rule. ACLs are also widely used by many modules (for example, QoS
and IP routing) for traffic identification.
IPv4 ACLs include the following categories, as shown in Table 110.

or
ACL number Match criteria
Basic ACLs 2000 to 2999 Source IPv4 address
Advanced ACLs 3000 to 3999
Source/destination IPv4 address, protocol number, and other Layer
3 and Layer 4 header fields
Ethernet frame
header ACLs
4000 to 4999
Layer 2 header fields, such as source and destination MAC
addresses, 802.1p priority, and link layer protocol type
For more information about IPv4 ACL, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide in HP MSR Router Series
