entry <ACLrulename>{
if {
<match-conditions>;
} then {
<action>;
<action-modifiers>;
}
}
The following is an example of a rule entry:
entry udpacl {
if {
source-address 10.203.134.0/24;
destination-address 140.158.18.16/32;
protocol udp;
source-port 190;
destination-port 1200 - 1250;
} then {
permit;
}
}
An ACL rule is evaluated as follows:
If the packet matches all the match conditions, the action and any action modifiers in the then statement are taken.
For ingress ACLs, if a rule entry does not contain any match condition, the packet is considered to match and the action and any action modifiers in the rule entry‘s "then" statement are taken. For egress ACLs, if a rule entry does not contain any match condition, no packets will match. See Matching All Egress Packets for more information.
If the packet matches all the match conditions, and if there is no action specified in the then statement, the action permit is taken by default.
If the packet does not match all the match conditions, the action in the then statement is ignored.
