Technology Description

Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Access Control List (ACL) is a group of statements; each defines a pattern that would be found in an IP packet. As each packet comes through an interface with an associated access list, the list is scanned from top to bottom, in the exact order that it was entered, for a pattern that matches the incoming packet. A permit or deny rule associated with the pattern determines that packet's fate. A mask can also be used, which is like a wild card, to determine how much of an IP source or destination address to apply to the pattern match. The pattern statement can also include a TCP or UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port.

Inventory and Information Model Objects (IMOs)

This section currently describes Cisco's Quality of Service (QoS) objects, although they may appear to be generic QoS objects that may be used by other vendors.

This section includes the following tables:

Access List Traffic Descriptor (IAccessList)

Access List Entry (IAccessListEntry)

Access List Traffic Descriptor

The following Access List Traffic Descriptor with its Access List Entry objects describes the access list of a single type (Unknown, Standard, Extended and Rate Limit), and is being aggregated by a Traffic Descriptor Container object (see Common (Shared by Several)).
