Configuring Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists (ACLs) ensure that only authorized users have access to specific
resources while blocking off any unwarranted attempts to reach network resources. ACLs are
used to provide traffic flow control, restrict contents of routing updates, decide which types of
traffic are forwarded or blocked, and above all provide security for the network. ProSafe
Managed switch’s software supports IPv4, IPv6, and MAC ACLs.
You first create an IPv4 based or IPv6 based or MAC based ACL ID. Then, you create a rule
and assign it to a unique ACL ID. Next, you define the rules, which can identify protocols,
source, and destination IP and MAC addresses, and other packet-matching criteria. Finally,
use the ID number to assign the ACL to a port or to a LAG.
The Security  ACL tab contains links to the following pages:
• ACL Wizard
• Basic on page 474
• Advanced on page 479
ACL Wizard
The ACL Wizard helps a user to create a simple ACL and apply it to the selected ports easily
and quickly. Firstly you must select an ACL type with which you will create an ACL. Then add
ACL rule to this ACL and at last apply this ACL on the selected ports. The ACL Wizard allows
you to create the ACL, but does not allow you to modify it. If you want to modify the ACL, go
to the ACL configuration screen. See
IP ACL on page 480.
To display the ACL Wizard, click Security  ACL > ACL Wizard.
