An Access Control List (ACL) specifies the users, devices, or processes that are allowed access to a particular object.
You can use ACLs to restrict Web management access to only the management functions on an SLX-OS device that is acting as an IPv6 host. Or you can restrict access so that the SLX-OS host can be reached only by a specified IPv6 device.
When you run the ipv6 access-list command, the SLX-OS device enters the IPv6 Access List configuration level, where you can access commands for configuring IPv6 ACLs. You can apply ACLs to network management access features such as Telnet, SSH, Web, and SNMP.
Note
Unlike IPv4, there is no distinction between standard and extended ACLs in IPv6.The ACL-name variable for the command specifies a name for the IPv6 ACL. An IPv6 ACL name cannot start with a numeral, for example, 1access. Also, an IPv4 ACL and an IPv6 ACL cannot share the same name.
For more information about the command, including examples, see the Extreme SLX-OS Command Reference.
