GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual 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. switch software supports IPv4 and MAC ACLs. You first create an IPv4-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 folder contains links to the following features: • ACL Wizard on page 180 • Basic: • MAC ACL on page 182 • MAC Rules on page 183 • MAC Binding Configuration on page 184 • MAC Binding Table on page 186 • Advanced: • IP ACL on page 187 • IP Rules on page 188 • IP Extended Rule on page 189 • IP Binding Configuration on page 193 • IP Binding Table on page 194 ACL Wizard The ACL Wizard simplifies the ACL rule configuration process. The Wizard contains a short list of access criteria that you can either permit or deny. When you select the permit or deny link associated with the access criteria, you are redirected to a page that is automatically configured with several of the settings. Note: Before you use the ACL Wizard to configure rules, you must create either a MAC ACL, Standard IP ACL, or Extended IP ACL that will contain the rules. To create a MAC ACL, see MAC ACL on page 182. To create a standard or extended IP ACL, see IP ACL on page 187. To display the ACL Wizard page, click Security  ACL. 180 | Chapter 5: Managing Device Security
