Access List

Types of ACLs: Standard ACLs, Extended ACLs, Lock and Key (Dynamic ACLs), IP Named ACLs, Reflexive ACLs, Time-Based ACLs Using Time Ranges, Commented IP ACL Entries, Context-Based Access Control, Authentication Proxy, Turbo ACLs, Distributed Time-Based ACLs, Receive ACLs, Infrastructure Protection ACLs, Transit ACLs.
