I have a Dell PowerConnect 5448. I created an acl using the cli. I telnet'ed into the switch and created and acl on port 19. This works well. It does its job and even after i reboot the switch (or loss of power of the switch), the acl on port 19 is never lost.
I now copy the same acl using the gui, using a web browser - Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator to different ports. For example, I click on Switch - Network Security - ACL Bindings. I can see the acl on port 19 that I created using the cli. I use the web gui to copy this acl to many different ports. "bind acl to interface" other ports on the switch. I save the changes. But, after I reboot the switch (or lose power to the switch), these "copied" acl are lost. I still have the original acl that I created using the cli, but lost the ones that I copied to other ports using the gui.
Is it normal behavior to lose these "copied acl's" using the web gui?
I never lose the acl that I created using the cli, but after a reboot or power loss I always lose the acl's that I copied using the web gui. Why? Am I missing a step?
Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions!!
