Abstract

The application provides a method and device for dynamically expanding an access control list. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a first number of software ACL table entries of a first service module currently triggering a hardware access control list (ACL) configuration; obtaining a second number of software ACL table entries of a second service module of a current ACL dynamic expansion object; calculating a difference between the first number of software ACL table entries and the second number of software ACL table entries; when the difference exceeds a preset difference threshold, entering a hardware ACL resource overflow pre-check; and when the difference is less than the preset difference threshold, keeping the second service module as the ACL dynamic expansion object.
