You should configure the ACL on the device before you assign the ACL to an interface. You can
create multiple ACLs and save them to the device configuration. However, the ACL does not filter
traffic until you assign it to an interface. You can assign an ACL on a physical port, Virtual LAN
(VLAN), or Link Aggregation Group (LAG).
For IronWare OS products, you can create a standard ACL. For Fabric OS devices, you can create
two types of ACLs:
• Standard ACL — Use to permit and deny traffic based on the source MAC address of incoming
frames. You should use standard ACLs when you only need to filter traffic based on the source
address.
• Extended ACL — Use to permit and deny traffic based on the source and destination MAC
addresses and EtherType, of incoming frames.
