Overview
At their simplest, Access Control Lists (ACLs), Prefix lists, and Route-maps permit or deny traffic based 
on MAC and/or IP addresses. This chapter discusses implementing IP ACLs, IP Prefix lists and 
Route-maps. For MAC ACLS, refer to the Access Control Lists (ACLs) chapter in the FTOS Command 
Line Reference Guide
.
An ACL is essentially a filter containing some criteria to match (examine IP, TCP, or UDP packets) and an 
action to take (permit or deny). ACLs are processed in sequence so that if a packet does not match the 
criterion in the first filter, the second filter (if configured) is applied. When a packet matches a filter, the 
switch drops or forwards the packet based on the filter’s specified action. If the packet does not match any 
of the filters in the ACL, the packet is dropped ( implicit deny).
