About ACLs
Access Controls List (ACL) filter the type of traffic that is allowed or denied access to the network or portion of the network. ACLs act as packet filters based on the criteria defined in the access list. ACLs defined on the SBC 1000/2000 do not take effect until they are applied to a port.
- Access Lists can filter incoming or outgoing packets on an interface, thereby controlling access based on source addresses, destination addresses, source layer4 ports, destination layer4 ports and IP protocol.
- ACLs are composed of a sequence of rules and the order of the rules is important. If an incoming packet matches multiple rules, the first matching rule is applied.
- A port may have only one input ACL and one output ACL.
After an ACL is created, it is bound (or applied) to the following interface/ports:
On the SBC 2000:
- Ethernet ports for inbound and forwarded traffic.
- Logical interfaces for inbound/outbound/forwarded traffic.
- ASM ACLs are applied to inbound and forwarded traffic only, and they are bound on the ASM interface.
On the SBC 1000:
- ACLs are bound to logical interfaces only.

Restrictions on Deleting ACLs
An ACL may not be deleted if it is bound to any port or logical interface. However, you may delete or modify a rule within a bound ACL. Any modification or deletion is effective immediately.
