Just an update on this issue.  I have been working with Dell to identify why the ACL does not seem to be working.  We discovered that the 6200 applies ACLs to traffic like a Cisco ACL VLAN Map as opposed to an input router ACL.  This causes the ACL to be applied to not just routed or forwarded traffic but also to switched traffic within the same VLAN. This has been the souce of my issues as my traffic is not confined to a single 6200.  I developed a simple lab to verify that the 6200 was applying the ACL to switched traffic within the same VLAN. First the 6200 has an ACL applied to VLAN5 both PC1 and PC2 are in VLAN 5.  They are both on the same subnet 192.168.5.0/24.  The ACL has a "permit icmp any any" statement but nothing else.  Both PC1 and PC2 are running Windows XP Pro with IIS installed for testing.  The firewall on both is disabled. PC#1 IP: 192.168.5.2/24PC#2 IP: 192.168.5.3/24 [6200]|    ||    ||   [2950T#2]<-->[PC#2] ||[2950T#1]<-->[PC#1] In this scenario PC1 and PC2 can ping each other without issue due to the permit icmp any any statement however you cannot access the IIS site on each of the other PCs. Dell states that this is normal and if you want VLAN to VLAN communication you need to "permit ip " for this to work correctly.  I also found that on return traffic from other VLANs was also being denied due to the ACL being applied on all inbound traffic.  As a workaround the permit statement needed to be included for ALL traffic returning to the restricted subnet from other subnets.  So in this case "permit ip any ".  I find this somewhat annoying that ACLs are applied as VLAN maps not as true inbound router ACLs like they are on similar Cisco devices such as the 3750.  So there is a workaround.  I hope they can address the issue in a future firmware update because I really think that the 6200 is a great device. You can see here the difference between VLAN ACL Maps and input router ACLs where they are applied in relation to local VLAN traffic.[URL]#wp1572522
Hello, I have a total of four 6248s two groups at different locations that are setup with VRRP + OSPF.  I tried to setup a simple ACL on one of the VLANs to permit some traffic, and block everything else, but I cannot get it to work.  I have tried a lot of combinations trying to get this working, but so far no luck.  Its just a simple ACL that should allow web/http traffic to the server 10.1.30.100, and block everything else. The only type of ACE that seems to work are either a "deny ip any any" or "permit ip any any" if you try an ACE with a host destination and subnet mask 0.0.0.0 it just blocks everything.  Has anyone else has been having ACL problems or is it just my incompetance thats preventing me from getting the 6200 ACLs to work properly?  I didnt have this problem getting the ACL to work on our Cisco 2811 routers just when I tried on the PC6248s.  
PowerConnect 6200 ACLs dont seem to work
