Terminology 
3400cl/6400cl Switches: An all-inclusive reference to the HP ProCurve 
3400cl and 6400cl switches. 
Access Control Entry (ACE): An ACE is a policy consisting of criteria and 
an action to take (permit or deny) on a packet if it meets the criteria. The 
elements composing the criteria include: 
•  Source IP address and mask (standard and extended ACLs) 
•  Destination IP address and mask (extended ACLs only) 
•  TCP or UDP application port numbers (optional, extended ACLs only) 
Access Control List (ACL): A list (or set) consisting of one or more 
explicitly configured Access Control Entries (ACEs) and terminating with 
an implicit “deny” default which drops any packets that do not have a 
match with any explicit ACE in the named ACL. The two classes of ACLs 
are “standard” and “extended”. See “Standard ACL” and “Extended ACL”. 
ACE: See “Access Control Entry”. 
ACL: See “Access Control List”. 
ACL ID: A number or alphanumeric string used to identify an ACL. A standard 
ACL ID can have either a number from 1 to 99 or an alphanumeric string. 
An extended ACL ID can have either a number from 100 to 199 or an 
alphanumeric string.
