ProSafe M5300 Switch 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 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 435 • Basic on page 437 for MAC ACLs • Advanced on page 441 for IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs ACL Wizard the ACL Wizard helps a user to create a simple ACL and apply to the selected ports easily and quickly. Firstly you must select an ACL type with which you will create a ACL. Then add ACL rule to this ACL and at last apply this ACL on the selected ports. The ACL Wizard allows you only to create the ACL but doesn't allow you to modify it. If you want to modify it, please go to the ACL configuration page to do that. To display the ACL Wizard, click Security  ACL > ACL Wizard. Managing Device Security 435
