Manage Cisco ACLs and Palo Alto policies in NCM

Use NCM to manage access control list (ACL) rules for Cisco ASA firewalls and Cisco Nexus devices. You can:

• View and compare Cisco ASA ACL rules

  You can compare ACLs (or different versions of the same ACL), and view and manage the rules within an ACL. NCM automatically detects redundant and shadowed rules.

• Learn about overlapping (shadowed and redundant) ACL rules

  Eliminating shadowed and redundant rules reduces the size of the rule set, making it easier to manage, and helps you ensure that the rules achieve the intended results.

• View information about the policies defined for Palo Alto devices that run OS 7.1 and later.
