2-5.2.3 ACL
The Series switch access control list (ACL) is probably the most commonly used object in the
IOS. It is used for packet filtering but also for selecting types of traffic to be analyzed,
forwarded, or influenced in some way. The ACLs are divided into Ether Types. IPv4, ARP
protocol, MAC and VLAN parameters etc. Here we will just go over the standard and extended
access lists for TCP/IP. As you create ACEs for ingress classification, you can assign a policy for
each port, the policy number is 1-8, however, each policy can be applied to any port. This
makes it very easy to determine what type of ACL policy you will be working with.
2-5.2.3.1 Ports
The section describes how to configure the ACL parameters (ACE) of the each switch port.
These parameters will affect frames received on a port unless the frame matches a specific ACE
