Defining ACL Uses

From the ACL Manager main window, you can use the Use ACL wizard to apply device ACLs to control packet filtering and line access.

Defining an ACL Use for Packet Filtering

Use the following procedure to use an ACL for packet filtering on specified device interfaces.

Procedure

Step 1 Right-click on the ACL to be applied, then select Use ACL. The Use Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-1).

Figure 7-1: Use Selection

Step 2 Select Packet Filtering, then click Next. The Interface Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-2).

Step 3 Select the incoming (In) and outgoing (Out) interfaces of the device for which you are defining the use, then click Next. The Summary dialog box is displayed (see Figure 7-3). This summarizes the selections made for this ACL.

Step 5 Click Finish. The Results window displays the results of creating the use (see Figure 7-4).

The Use Creation field displays Failed if the ACL use cannot be successfully created on the interfaces. Otherwise, it displays OK.

Defining an ACL Use for Line Access

Use the following procedure to set up line access.

Procedure

Step 1 Right-click on the ACL to be applied, then select Use ACL. The Use Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-1).

Step 2 Select Line Access, then click Next. The Line Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-5).

Applying an ACL Template to a Specific Device

From the ACL Manager main window, you can use the Template Use wizard to apply an existing ACL template to a particular device on selected interfaces or lines for a selected use (packet filtering or line access).

Applying an ACL Template for Packet Filtering

The following procedure describes how to apply an existing ACL template for packet filtering to specified interfaces of a selected device.

Procedure

Step 1 Right-click on the device to which the template is to be applied, then select Apply Template. The Use Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-1).

Step 2 Select Packet Filtering, then click Next. The Template Selection window is displayed (see Figure 7-8).

Step 7 The Summary dialog box is displayed (see Figure 7-11).

Figure 7-11: Summary (Packet Filtering)

Complete the required fields as follows:

Field	Description
Overwrite existing ACLs and uses?	Select this check box to overwrite an existing ACL with the specified name on the device and any uses referencing that ACL on a selected interface.
Auto Number the new ACL?	Select this check box to select autonumbering for the new ACL. The new ACL will automatically be assigned a number on this device.
ACL name	Enter a name or number for the new ACL. Note You can enter information in this field only if the Auto Number the new ACL? check box is unselected.

Step 8 Click Finish. The Results window displays the results of applying the template to the interfaces (see Figure 7-12).

The Use Creation field displays Failed if the ACL Use cannot be successfully created on the interface. Otherwise, it displays OK.
