Configure an Extended ACL Object for YouTube

Updated: February 5, 2026

Overview

Provides instructions to configure an extended access control list (ACL) to match YouTube traffic for policy-based routing and Direct Internet Access (DIA) control in Firewall Management Center (FMC).

Procedure

	1.	Select Objects > Object Management and choose Access Lists > Extended from the table of contents.
	2.	Click Add Extended Access List to create an extended access list for social media traffic.
	3.	In the Extended ACL Object dialog box, enter a name (DIA_SocialMedia) for the object.
	4.	Click Add to create a new Extended Access List.
	5.	Configure the following access control properties: Select the Action to Allow (match) the traffic criteria. Click the Application tab and search for YouTube in the Available Applications list. Select YouTube and click Add to Rule. Click Add to add the entry to the object. Click Save.
