ACL Translation View


This window lets you view translation conflicts when ACLs are being pasted and translated in the ACL Editor left-panel tree. The top panel lists the ACLs where conflicts exist. The lower-left panel shows the rules for the ACL selected in the top panel with their original parameters. The lower-right panel shows how the rules will be changed if they are translated. The specific rules where a conflict exists appear with a red exclamation mark in the list and a comment below that describes the nature of the conflict. The translation also offers an option to translate IP rules where a source/destination port is defined, by replacing the single IP rule with a TCP rule and a UDP rule.
