The Avaya Multiservice switch supports ACL names up to 32 characters (Alpha-Numeric). Spaces are allowed in the names but are not recommended. Instead of spaces, use the underscore (_) character.
ACL Names are entered when you create a rule. By using the same ACL Name for multiple rules, you are effectively creating a list of rules. The Access List Index determines the order of rules in the list. For that reason, when you create a rule, you give the rule the Access List Name and the Access List Index. No two rules in a list may have the same index.
If you create rules with different ACL Names, you have created different lists. This is useful when you need more than one ACL. For example, you may have one ACL for normal working hours, one ACL for nighttime hours, and a third list for Holidays. When you enable (activate) an ACL, the currently enabled (active) ACL is automatically disabled (de-activated). In other words, there can only be one active ACL.
The only restriction on the amount of ACLs you can create is that the total number of rules cannot exceed 512. So, you could create a single ACL with 512 rules; or one ACL with 300 rules and a second with 212 rules, etc. See "Creating Access Rules" for guidelines to consider when designing ACLs.
An ACL name can be a number. For example, you can create a list whose name is 1 or 151. If you chose to use numbers, keep in mind the following restrictions:
Access Rule Name is already being used by the other type.
