To configure rules for an IP ACL:
1. T
o add an IP ACL rule, select the ACL ID to add the rule to, select the check box in the 
Extended ACL Rule table, and click Add. The page displays the extended ACL Rule 
Configuration fields.
 
 
2. Configure the new rule.
• Rule
 ID. Specify a number from 1–10 to identify the IP ACL rule. You can create up to 
10 rules for each ACL.
• Action. Sele
cts the ACL forwarding action, which is one of the following: 
• Permit.
 Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.
• Den
y. Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.
• Egres
s Queue. Specifies the hardware egress queue identifier used to handle all 
packets matching this ACL rule. Enter an identifying number from 0–7 in the 
appropriate field.
• Match Ev
ery. Requires a packet to match the criteria of this ACL. Select True or 
False from the drop down menu. Match Every is exclusive to the other filtering rules, 
so if Match Every is True, the other rules on the screen are not available.
• Protoc
ol Type. Requires a packet’s protocol to match the protocol listed here. Select 
a type from the drop down menu or enter the protocol number in the available field.
• Src IP Addres
s. Requires a packet’s source IP address to match the address listed 
here. Type an IP Address in the appropriate field using dotted-decimal notation. The 
address you enter is compared to a packet's source IP Address. 
• Src IP Mask.
 Specifies the source IP address wildcard mask. Wild card masks 
determines which bits are used and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of 
255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that 
all of the bits are important. Wildcard masking for ACLs operates differently from a 
subnet mask. A wildcard mask is in essence the inverse of a subnet mask. For 
example, to apply the rule to all hosts in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, you type 
0.0.0.255 in the Source IP Mask field. This field is required when you configure a 
source IP address.
