IPv6 ACL
IPv6 ACL classifies IPv6 packets based on configured rules. The implementation of IPv6 ACLs is the same as that of ACLs.
IPv6 ACL can also be called ACL6.
ACL6 Classification
ACL6 can be classified into the following types:
Category |
Rule ID Range |
Usage Scenario |
|---|---|---|
Basic ACL6 |
Basic ACL6s can be numbered from 2000 to 2999. |
A basic ACL6 filters packets based only on the source IPv6 address, Virtual Private Network (VPN) instance, fragment flag, and time range. |
Advanced ACL6 |
Advanced ACL6s can be numbered from 3000 to 3999. |
An advanced ACL6 filters packets based on the source IPv6 address and destination IPv6 address of data packets, protocol type supported by IPv6, features of the protocol such as the source port number and destination port number, ICMPv6 protocol, and ICMPv6 Code. |
An ACL6 and an ACL can use the same rule ID because their commands are different.
