Create ACL Window

This window appears when you click Create in the ACL window. Use it to create an ACL by creating one or more Access Control Elements (ACEs) for the ACL.

You can modify or delete any ACEs you create if you have not clicked OK in this window. If you want to create, modify, or delete ACEs beyond this point, you must use the Modify ACL window.

To create an ACE:

  1. Select an ACL type from the ACL Type list.
    The Standard IP type blocks or allows packets based on their source IP address.
    The Extended IP type gives you finer control over which IP packets are filtered and which are not.
    The MAC Extended type blocks or allows packets based on their source and destination MAC addresses.
  2. Enter a name or number in the ACL Name/Number field.
    If you give a number to a standard ACL, it must be in the range 1 to 99 or 1300 to 1999. If you give a number to an extended ACL it must be in the range 100 to 199 or 2000 to 2699. A MAC extended ACL must have an alphabetic name; however, the name can contain numeric characters.
  3. Click Create. You see either the Create ACE - Standard window, the Create ACE - Extended window, or the Create ACE - MAC Extended window, depending on the ACL type you chose.
    When you have finished making your specifications in one of these windows, you return to the ACL Create - Type Selection Window. You can then create another ACE or click OK to complete the ACL creation process.

To modify an ACE:

  1. Select an ACE from ACE List.
  2. Click Modify.
    The Modify ACE - Standard window, the Modify ACE - Extended window, or the Modify ACE - MAC Extended window appears, depending on the ACL type that the ACE belongs to. The windows contain the same fields that the Create ACE windows contain. In this case, however, the fields show the settings that you chose for the ACE. You can modify any of the settings.
  3. Change your specifications as needed and click OK.
    You return to the Create ACE window.

To delete an ACE:

  1. Select an ACE from ACE List.
  2. Click Delete.
