Defining Access Control Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification actions and rules for specific ingress ports. Your switch supports up to 256 ACLs. Packets entering an ingress port, with an active ACL, are either admitted or denied entry. If they are denied entry, the user can disable the port. ACLs are composed of Access Control Entries (ACEs) that are made of the filters that determine traffic classifications. The total number of ACEs that can be defined in all ACLs together is 256. The Access Control section contains the following topics: • Defining MAC Based ACL • Defining IP Based ACL • Defining IPv6 Based ACLs • Defining ACL Binding Defining MAC Based ACL The MAC Based ACL Page allows a MAC-based Access Control List (ACL) to be defined. The table lists Access Control Elements (ACE) rules, which can be added only if the ACL is not bound to an interface. Cisco Small Business SFE/SGE Managed Switches Administration Guide 92
