Routers provide basic traffic filtering capabilities, such as blocking Internet traffic, with access control lists (ACLs). An ACL is a sequential collection of permit or deny statements that apply to addresses or upper-layer protocols.
ACLs are lists of instructions you apply to a router's interface. These lists tell the router what kinds of packets to accept and what kinds of packets to deny. Acceptance and denial can be based on certain specifications;
- Source address
- Destination address
- Port number
An ACL can be created for all routed protocols
