Used to control the traffic allowed to pass through ports
on the switch.
ACL (Access
Control List) specifies rules that allow or block specific traffic
through the switch. These rules place certain restrictions on the
request types sent from computers to the Internet and vice versa. iS5Com
provides support for ACLs based
on chipsets capability and provides separate configuration parameters
for the same.
