I consider myself fortunate to run across a new program called the Cisco ACL Editor and Simulator. This program allows you to create ACLs in Windows GUI application by filling out fields on a form. Even better, it allows you to then take that ACL and simulate what traffic would pass through the ACL. This way, you can test your ACL’s before you apply them, saving a huge amount of time and effort.
