Hi Community,

 

I’ve spent the entire weekend reviewing all my ACLs in an effort to improve network security. Currently, I’m using Gateway ACLs, which I like for their simplicity, but they are quite restrictive, it’s essentially all-or-nothing at the network level. Unlike Switch ACLs, there’s no support for IP Groups or IP-Port Groups, which would offer much more flexibility.

 

I remember reading in this previous thread that support for these features was expected to be introduced in Controller version 5.15 for the ER7212PC V1.

 

However, more than a year has passed, and my Controller is still on version 5.14.34.4.

 

Are there any updates or timelines for when this functionality will be released?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Chris

ER7212PC is a product with routing and controller functions. The development time would take longer.

Please pay attention to the official or forum firmware release. I do not guarantee that the dev and project team will change their plans. The last information was from the time I consulted with the dev.

Thanks @Clive_A

 

I fully understand that this may take a bit more time given the added complexity. I’m just wondering whether this functionality has already been developed and included as mentioned in Controller version V5.15, and it’s simply that this controller version hasn’t yet been released for my ER7212PC.

 

Alternatively, has this Gateway ACL improvement not yet been developed? If that’s the case, could you confirm whether it’s still on the roadmap? This feature would greatly simplify ACL management and significantly enhance the product.

 

Given the number of posts, tutorials, and videos I’ve come across on the topic, I’m confident that implementing this would be very well received by the community.

 

I appreciate your support.

Please pay attention to the official or forum firmware release. Due to the new work standard, I am not allowed to provide any roadmap, future plan, or development details. Everything should be referred to the final release of the product.

Thank you for your feedback. All I can do is make your voice heard.
