What is an ACL

ACL, or Access Control List, refers to the list of criteria established by a network administrator for use in filtering packets on the network. The administrator creates an ACL with a set of criteria that the router uses in determining whether to forward or drop each packet. An ACL serves to augment the presence of a firewall.
