Access Lists Tab

Configuration > Templates & Policies > Policies > ACLs > Access Lists

This tab lists the configured Access Control List (ACL) rules. An ACL is a reusable MATCH criteria for filtering flows. It is associated with an action: permit or deny. An ACL can be a MATCH condition in more than one policy—Route, QoS, or Optimization.

Field	Description
Appliance Name	Name the appliance selected.
ACLs	Access Control Lists. A list of one or more ordered access control rules. NOTE: An ACL only becomes active when it is used in a policy.
Priority	If you are using Orchestrator templates to add rules, Orchestrator will delete all entries from 1000 – 9999 before applying its policies. You can create rules with higher priority than Orchestrator rules (1 – 999) and rules with lower priority (10000 – 19999 and 25000 – 65534). NOTE: The priority range from 20000 to 24999 is reserved for Orchestrator. When adding a rule, the priority is incremented by 10 from the previous rule. The priority can be changed, but this default behavior helps to ensure you can insert new rules without having to change subsequent priorities.
Match Criteria	Configured ACL match criteria associated to the appliance. See below for more information about Match Criteria.
Permit	Whether the ACL is set to Permit or Deny. Permit allows the matching traffic flow to proceed to the policy entry's associated SET actions. Deny prevents further processing of the flow by that ACL, specifically. The appliance continues to the next entry in the policy.
Comment	Any additional information about the ACL.

Match Criteria

These are universal across all policy maps—Route, QoS, Optimization, NAT (Network Address Translation), and Security.
If you expect to use the same match criteria in different maps, you can create an ACL (Access Control List), which is a named, reusable set of rules. For efficiency, create them in Configuration > Templates & Policies > ACLs > Access Lists, and apply them across appliances.
The available parameters are Application, Address Map (for sorting by country, IP address owner, or SaaS application), Domain, Geo Location, Interface, Protocol, DSCP, IP/Subnet, Port, and Traffic Behavior.
To specify different criteria for inbound versus outbound traffic, select the Source:Dest check box.

Wildcard-based Prefix Matching

When using a range or a wildcard, the IPv4 address must be specified in the 4-octet format, separated by the dot notation. For example, A.B.C.D.
Range is specified using a dash. For example, 128-129.
Wildcard is specified as an asterisk (*).
Range and Wildcard can both be used in the same address, but an octet can only contain one or the other. For example, 10.136-137.*.64-95.
A wildcard can only be used to define an entire octet. For example, 10.13*.*.64-95 is not supported. The correct way to specify this range is 10.130-139.*.64-94.
The same rules apply to IPv6 addressing.
CIDR notation and (Range or Wildcard) are mutually exclusive in the same address. For example, use either 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.0.1-127.
These prefix-matching rules only apply to the following policies: Router, QoS, Optimization, NAT, Security, and ACLs.

Access Lists Edit Row

The Access Lists dialog box lists the configured Access Control List (ACL) rules.

You can add, delete, or rename an ACL by clicking the buttons at the top of this dialog box. You can also add rules to an ACL.

Click Add Rule.
Enter a priority value.
Click the edit icon to configure the match criteria. The Match Criteria dialog box opens and you can specify the match criteria. Click More Options to apply more rules.
Select if you want to Permit or Deny traffic in the ACL.
Enter any comments if you decide to do so.
