Need ACL Manager - Access Control List Manager is EOL

[smlail_alger]

Hi every body;

CiscoWorks Access Control List Manager was a great tool for managing and Optimizing ACLs (Removing covered ACEs, Merging maskable ACE address ranges, Merging covered ACE port ranges, Removing redundant ACEs, Removing duplicate ACE and ACL Hits Optimizer)

But now it's not available any more :(

Does someone know any similar tool or script ?

Thank you

This functionality is mostly covered in Cisco Security Manager (CSM).

See this link for details.

In the third party arena, SolarWinds also offers the Firewall Security manager (former Athena FirePAC product).

Thank you Marvin Rhoads for reply;

Does Cisco Security Manager support Switch ACLs management & optimization ?

my main problem is with Switch ACLs

[Marvin Rhoads]

Sorry, but CSM does not support witches or their ACLs.

So any advice for Cisco Switch Management since Access Control List Manager is EOL ?

[Marvin Rhoads · Accepted solution]

As far as I know there is no current Cisco product specifically designed to manage switch ACLs, either as a point solution or as a feature in a larger scope product.

I don't see many customers using complex or extensive ACLs on switches and the lack of commercially available tools to manage them probably reflects this observation as well.

Thank you Marvin Rhoads;

it seem the only Cisco tool manage complex or extensive ACLs Switchs was Cisco Access Control List Manager.
