Access-List (ACL)
Access lists, often abbreviated as ACLs, are lists composed of a series of statements. These statements are used to match specific characteristics of packets or frames. A packet or frame can match an entry, and it will be permitted or denied based on the statement.
We can use ACLs for two main reasons:
- Filtering - where matched packets are either permitted or denied.
- Classification - where matched packets are selected and used for something such as QoS or a VPN.
ACLs operate at layers 2,3, and 4 of the OSI model. For example, they can match on items in all three layers such as IPv4 or IPv6 addresses as well as TCP or UDP ports to match traffic.
