3.8 ACL

3.8.1 ACL Mode

ACL (Access Control List) is designed to protect the switch from unnecessary IP traffic or

Layer-4 packets and

allows the users to filter denial of service (DoS) floods against the switch,

thereby preventing the flood from degrading the performance of the switch. Two modes of ACL are

supported VLAN and Port based and a total of 64 ACL rules can be created.
