If it's a virus that tries to spread itself through accessing network shares etc it should be blocked (cause it can't reach those networks). If it tries to spread itself through email, it could pass the acl's because it's embedded in an emai ao it will traverse via the mailserver to the other segments.<br />
<br />
So the answer is: only if a virus itself actively tries to connect over the network ACL's could help in limiting the damage but I won't trust on it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have my PCs in Network Segment A.<br />
I have configured Network segment A from accessing Segment B &amp;&nbsp;C using ACL in switches.<br />
So Network Segment A can not reach to any segment B &amp;&nbsp;C.<br />
In this case if a PC connected to Segment A has some viruses will it pass or outbreak the viruses to segment B &amp;&nbsp;C.<br />
Can the viruses pass over the network level ACLs. Or the ACLs will block the virus spreading over network..

Can Access Control Lists in switch prevent Virus Outbreak ?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
