Configuring firewalls and access control lists

6

Configuring the firewall

Configure the Firewall to create either standard/extended ip or extended MAC access control lists.

To configure the Firewall:

1. Select Security > Wireless Firewall from the main tree menu.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Click the ACL tab.

4. Add a new ACL entry as explained in , Adding a new ACL.

5. The Configuration tab consists of the following two fields:

ACLs - existing access lists

Associated Rules - allow/deny rules

The ACLs field displays the list of ACLs currently associated with the switch. An ACL contains an
ordered list of ACEs. Each ACE specifies a permit or deny designation and a set of conditions
the packet must satisfy to match the ACE. Because the switch stops testing conditions after
the first match, the order of conditions in the list is critical.

6. If an existing ACL no longer satisfies switch access control requirements, select it from

amongst the existing ACLs and click the Delete button.

7. Use the Add button (within the ACLs field) to add an additional ACL. For more information, see

“Adding a new ACL”

on page 342.

8. To reset the Hit Count number, click the Clear Counters button.

9. Refer to the Associated Rules field to assess the rules and precedence associated with each

ACL. If necessary, rules and can be added or existing rules modified. For more information, see

“Adding a new ACL rule”

on page 342.
