Simplifying switch ACL rules
As an example if I want to block or allow a subnet from accessing a few hosts on a different subnet I have a seperate rule for each destination / host (keeping the same source) e.g.
Rule #1 Source 192.168.1.0/21 Destination: 10.10.20.20
Rule #2 Source 192.168.1.0/21 Destination: 10.10.20.21
Rule #3 Source 192.168.1.0/21 Destination: 10.10.20.22
Can I instead have one rule where the destination is 10.10.10.20/30 so that all hosts are covered?
Solved! Go to solution.

Yes, but you are covering one host more than wanted. You have to decide if that is a problem.

Yes. I don't see why it wouldn't cover it.
