Any configuration changes made locally on the switch won't be synchronized with Sophos Central. We recommend making changes from the Sophos Central control panel instead.

Port binding

Binding an access control list (ACL) to ports applies all the rules you define for that ACL to those ports. For ports that have an ACL bound to them, the switch drops all traffic that doesn't match the ACL.

To bind ACLs, select the ports you want and click Edit.

You can configure the following options:

  • Port: Shows the selected ports.
  • MAC ACL: Select the MAC ACL rule you want to apply.
  • IPv4 ACL: Select the IPv4 ACL rule you want to apply.

  • IPv6 ACL: Select the IPv6 ACL rule you want to apply.

    Note

    You can't bind both an IPv4 and IPv6 ACL simultaneously. You must select one or the other.

Click Apply to save your changes.
