An Access List allows you to define rules that limit access to your network resources from the outside world. The Access List Provisioning window shows all Access rules in force and allows you to add additional rules as desired.
To enter an Access rule, simply type in the IP Address and Wildcard Mask desired and click the Add button. Once the rule has been entered into the list window, then you can change the Action to either Allow, Deny, or make the rule temporarily Unused (but still in the list).
The Access List is order sensitive, which means that rules at the top of the list will be executed first. This means that more specific rules should be placed at the top of the list. In the example above, access to any node on network 118.16.106 is allowed because it has been explicitly called out. However, access to any other network is denied because of the global deny rule at the end of the list. Global rules such as Address 0.0.0.0, Wildcard Mask 255.255.255.255 should be at the end of the list since they will always be executed.
To re-order the list, simply click on a rule and press either the Move Up or Move Down buttons which will move the rule up or down in the list. To totally remove a rule from the list, click on the rule and then press Remove.
