Why each option
Creating ACLs in a Cisco WLC for controlling traffic through the controller uses the Security menu path, not interface or WLAN configuration menus.
Security > Access Control Lists > CPU Access Control Lists is specifically for protecting the WLC management plane by filtering traffic destined to the controller CPU itself, not for general data plane traffic.
The path Security > Access Control Lists > Access Control Lists is the correct location in the WLC GUI to define new ACLs that filter traffic passing through the controller. This section allows administrators to create named ACLs with permit/deny rules applied to specific traffic flows for wired and wireless subnets. CPU ACLs and interface assignments are separate, downstream configuration steps.
Controller > Interfaces > ACL Name is a field for applying an already-created ACL to a specific interface, not for creating the ACL itself.
WLANs > WLAN ID > Advanced > Override Interface ACL is used to apply an ACL override on a per-WLAN basis, not to define or create an ACL.
