To configure an ACL
Access the Create ACL wizard:
Select the Configuration tool bar option.
In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. 
Click the plus sign next to System.
Select ACLs.
In the Task List panel, select ACL.
In the ACL Name box, type the name for the ACL (1 to 32 alphanumeric 
characters, with no spaces or tabs). The name can include hyphens (-), 
underscores (_), or periods (.). ACL names are case-sensitive and must 
begin with a letter. Do not include any of the following terms in the 
name: alldefault-actionmaphelpeditbuffer.
Click Add Rule. A new ACE (ACL rule) appears above the implicit deny all 
rule that is at the end of every ACL.
Each ACL has a rule at the end that denies all source and destination IP 
addresses. This rule provides security be ensuring that the only traffic 
permitted by an ACL is the traffic you want to permit. This rule is 
automatically added to the end of each ACL and cannot be edited or 
removed.
After you add an ACE to the table, each subsequent ACE appears above 
the implicit deny all ACE at the bottom of the list, but beneath all the 
other ACEs you have configured. 
The switch uses the ACEs in the order they appear in the list, beginning at 
the top. Because the action in the first ACE that matches a packet is used, 
the order the ACEs appear in is important. (You can reorder them. See 
step 13.) 
Specify the source IP address by clicking in the Source IP column and 
editing the value. To match on all source IP addresses, leave the value 
0.0.0.0/0.
Specify the destination IP address by clicking in the Source IP column and 
editing the value. To match on all destination IP addresses, leave the 
value 0.0.0.0/0.
To specify the protocol:
Click on the down arrow in the Protocol column.
