configure access-list

configure access-list aclname [any | ports port_list | vlan vlan_name] {ingress | egress}

Description

Configures an access list to the specified interface.

Syntax Description

aclname Specifies the ACL (Access Control List) policy file name.
any Specifies that this ACL is applied to all interfaces as the lowest precedence ACL.
port_list Specifies the ingress or egress port list on which the ACL is applied.
vlan_name Specifies the VLAN (Virtual LAN) on which the ACL is applied.
ingress Apply the ACL to packets entering the switch on this interface.
egress Apply the ACL to packets leaving the switch from this interface. (Summit X460-G2, X670-G2, X770 and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X620 series switches only).

Default

The default direction is ingress.

Usage Guidelines

The access list applied in this command is contained in a text file created either externally to the switch or using the edit policy command. The file is transferred to the switch using TFTP before it is applied to the ports. The ACL name is the file name without its “.pol” extension. For example, the ACL blocknetfour would be in the file blocknetfour.pol.

Specifying the keyword any applies the ACL to all the ports, and is referred to as the wildcard ACL. This ACL is evaluated for ports without a specific ACL applied to it, and is also applied to packets that do not match the ACL applied to the interface.

Example

The following command configures the ACL policy test to port 1:2 at ingress:

configure access-list test ports 1:2

The following command configures the ACL mydefault as the wildcard ACL:

configure access-list mydefault any

The following command configures the ACL policy border as the wildcard egress ACL:

configure access-list border any egress
