Modify ACL Window

This window appears when you click Modify in the ACL window. It contains the ACL Information area, a read-only area that identifies the ACL and its type, and the ACE List.

In this window, you can:

Creating Additional ACEs

The ACE List contains at least one ACE, because at least one ACE was created when the ACL was created. To create an additional ACE:

  1. Click Create.
    Either the Create ACE - Standard window, Create ACE - Extended window, or Create ACE - Extended MAC window appears, depending on the ACL type you are working with. These are the same windows you use to create an ACL and its first ACE.
  2. Complete the Create ACE window and, if needed, a Protocol Options window (optional with extended ACLs).
  3. Click OK when you return to the Modify ACL window.

Modifying ACEs

To modify an ACE:

  1. Select an ACE from the ACE List and click Modify.
  2. Either the Modify ACE - Standard window, Modify ACE - Extended window, or Modify ACE - MAC Extended window appears, depending on the ACL type you are working with. The windows contain the same fields that the Create ACE windows contain. In this case, however, the fields show the settings that were chosen for the ACE. You can modify any of the settings.
  3. Click OK when you return to the Modify ACL window.

Deleting ACEs

To delete an ACE:

  1. Select it in the ACE List and click Delete.
  2. Click OK.

Repositioning ACEs

To change the position of an ACE in the list:

  1. Select it in the ACE List.
  2. Click the up arrow or down arrow to move it. Each click moves the ACE one position.
  3. Click OK when the ACE is where you want it.

Note: In a standard ACL, ACEs that specify any or a wildcard mask cannot be repositioned above ACEs that specify host. Click here for information about the contents of ACEs for standard ACLs.
