Network Security Overview
Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow network managers to define classification actions and
rules for specific ingress ports. ACLs contain multiple classification rules and actions. Each
classification rule and action is an Access Control Element (ACE). ACEs are the filters that
determine traffic classifications. Packets are matched by the following ACEs:
• Protocol
• Destination Port
• Source IP Address
• Destination IP Address
