acl-policy enable external

Purpose

Allow an external server to create and delete ACLs.

Format

acl-policy enable external

Mode

Configure

Description

The acl-policy enable external command allows ACLs to be configured by an external

agent, such as the Policy Manager. If this command is in the active configuration, an

external server can create, modify, and delete ACLs on the SSR. If this command is not in

the active configuration, then ACLs can only be created, modified, and deleted using the

CLI.

Parameters

None.

Restrictions

The only action allowed by the acl-policy enable external command is to allow an

external server to create, modify, and delete ACLs. Once entered, this command must be

negated in order to prohibit an external server from creating, altering, or deleting ACLs.

An external server can only modify ACLs that it created, or ACLs that were created using

the CLI with the “external” flag. It cannot modify an ACL that was created using the CLI

with the “local” flag.
