Applying an ACL to the Switch
Context
An ACL is a set of rules that differentiate packets and determine whether packets are permitted and denied. The device then processes the permitted packets and discards the denied packets.
Procedure
- Apply ACLs.
ACLs can be applied to many features. For example, to process different types of traffic, you can use basic ACLs, basic ACL6s, advanced ACLs, advanced ACL6s, Layer 2 ACLs, or user-defined ACLs to perform traffic policing or traffic classification on the traffic that matches the ACL rules.
- ACLs can be applied to different services, and devices running these services process the classified packets based on service requirements. For details about the services referencing ACLs, see the configuration guide.
