ACL

The following sections describe how to view, add, modify, delete ACLs and ACL effective period.

The access control list (ACL) is used to identify flows. A network device filters packets according to certain rules. It must identify packets first, and then permits or denies the packets according to the policy that you have configured.

• Effective Period
  By configuring the effective period, you can apply an ACL to packets in a certain period of time.
• ACL
  An ACL classifies packets according to matching rules. The rules can be source addresses, destination addresses, or the port numbers of the packets.
• HTTP ACL
  After the HTTPS access control list (ACL) is configured, only the specified client can log in to the switch through web. This function improves system security.
