Deny Hosts in a Subnet to Access a Specific Device
Scenario Description
As shown in the following figure, the departments of a company connect to each other through the 100Base-TX ports of Switch A. The financial department uses 129.110.1.2 as the IP address of the wage query server. ACL Management manages Switch A through 129.110.1.1.
Deploy an ACL on Ethernet2/1/1 to deny users in the R&D department to access the wage query server from 08:00 to 18:00 on working days.
