GS748T 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. GS748T Smart Switch software supports IPv4 and MAC ACLs. To configure an ACL, first create an IPv4-based or MAC-based ACL ID. Then, create a rule and assign it to a unique ACL ID. Next, 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 • Basic • MAC ACL on page 182 • MAC Rules on page 183 • MAC Binding Configuration on page 185 • MAC Binding Table on page 186 • Advanced • IP ACL on page 187 • IP Rules on page 189 • IP Extended Rules on page 190 • IP Binding Configuration on page 194 • IP Binding Table on page 195 ACL Wizard The ACL Wizard allows you to configure ACL permissions for devices based on the source and destination of MAC address, IP address, and port IDs. To display the MAC ACL page, click Security > ACL Wizard. Chapter 5: Managing Device Security | 181
