Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the Series 3400cl and Series 6400cl Switches 
Planning an ACL Application on a Series 3400cl or Series 6400cl Switch 
Example of ACL Resource Usage 
This example illustrates how to check for current per-port rule and mask 
availability, and then how to create and assign an ACL, and then to verify its 
effect on per-port rule and mask resources. (For more detailed information 
on configuring and applying ACLs, refer to the later sections of this chapter.) 
Viewing the Current Per-Port Rule and Mask Usage 
The show access-list resources command displays the currently available per-
port rules and masks. 
In the default 
configuration, there are 
120 rules and 8 per-port 
ACL masks available on 
each port. These masks 
are reserved for ACLs and 
IGMP use. 
Figure 10-7. Example of Available Per-Port Rules and ACL Masks 
Standard ACL Using a Subset of the Switch’s Ports.  Suppose that 
ports 1 - 4 on a 3400cl or 6400cl switch belong to the following VLANs: 
■  VLAN 1: 10.10.10.1 
■  VLAN 2: 10.10.11.1 
■  VLAN 3: 10.10.12.1 
(Assume that ports 1-4 are tagged members of VLAN 22, although tagged/ 
untagged ports do not affect ACL operation because ACLs examine all 
inbound traffic, regardless of VLAN membership.) 
The system administrator wants to: 
■  Permit inbound VLAN 1 traffic on all ports 
■  Permit inbound VLAN 2 traffic on ports 1 - 4 from hosts 10.10.10.1-30 
■  Deny inbound VLAN 2 traffic on ports 1 - 4 from hosts 10.10.10.31-255
