  • he left hand menu, select Organization to expand its dropdown menu, and select ACL Groups.

  • From the top right of the page, select the blue button, +Create New ACL.

Name your ACL policy under Group Name.

  • Select the devices, tags, or network policies you wish to apply the ACL rules to, under AP / AP Tags / Network.

  • Select logging options for the ACLs

Configure your Layer 3 ACL rules :

  • Policy

  • Protocol

  • Src details

    • Uplink - For the fields Src Uplink Type, the option ALL includes the LAN and Wifi.

    • IP/Domain

    • Bitmask

  • Dst details

    • Uplink - For the fields Dst Uplink Type, the option ALL includes the LAN and Wifi.

    • IP/Domain

    • Bitmask

  • Dst Port

  • Enable - Yes or No

  • Log - Yes or No

A few additional recommendations when configuring this feature :

  • Traffic is matched by the ACL rules top to bottom.

  • There is no implicit ‘Deny All’ at the end of the rules. So any packet not matching any rules would be allowed to pass through.

  • You may use domains (websites) instead of IP addresses for the fields Src IP/Domain/ Dst IP/Domain. If the domain is added, (ex. Yahoo.com), then the corresponding subdomains are also matched(ex, mail.yahoo.com, news.yahoo.com etc)

  • ACL rules primarily apply for routed traffic.

  • Under Configuration, Network, for the SSID/VLAN sections, IP Configuration, DNS Mode, choose ‘Use ISP(Default)’ if adding ACL rules based on domain names

  • The Ports can be configured as a single port number(ex. 80) or a range of ports.(ex. 5001:6000).

Configure your Layer 7 ACL rules :

  • Policy

  • Uplink Type

  • Src IP & Bitmask

  • Category of Layer 7

  • Specific Application

Once you’ve finished creating your rules, select the green button Create ACL Group.
