what is firewall?How it differs from ACLS?

Answer Posted / devroy

An ACL is a basic level of stateless packet filtering. If
that meets your (low) security requirements, then that's
fine.

A firewall generally includes stateful packet inspection.
This will provide a higher level of security than an ACL.

That said, you need to look at the specific
implementations, as what one vendor calls an ACL another
may call a firewall.
