Licensing Requirements and Limitations for ACL-based Simplified Traffic Policies

Involved Network Elements

Other network elements are not required.

Licensing Requirements

The ACL-based simplified traffic policy is a basic feature of a switch and is not under license control.

Version Requirements

For details about the mapping between software versions and switch models, see the Hardware Query Tool.

Software version evolution: V100R001C00 -> V100R002C00 -> V100R003C00 -> V100R003C10 -> V100R005C00 -> V100R005C10 -> V100R006C00 -> V200R001C00 -> V200R002C50 -> V200R003C00 -> V200R005C00 -> V200R005C10 -> V200R019C00 -> V200R019C10

Feature Limitations

• Simplified traffic policies applied in a Layer 3 main interface view also take effect for traffic on Layer 3 sub-interfaces.
• In versions earlier than V200R002C50, simplified ACL-based traffic policies do not support IPv6. In V200R002C50 and later versions, simplified ACL-based traffic policies support IPv6.
• If packets match multiple simplified ACL-based traffic policies, you can run the display traffic-policy apply-information command in the diagnostic view to check the priorities of the simplified ACL-based traffic policies that take effect. The command output displays the traffic policies that take effect in descending order of priority.
• An ACL-based simplified traffic policy can match both Layer 2 and Layer 3 ACL rules, and the relationship between these two types of rules is AND. If effective periods are configured for two ACL rules in an ACL-based simplified traffic policy, the rules take effect only when the effective periods of the two ACL rules are both matched.
• When multiple simplified traffic policies based on the same ACL are applied in the same view, only one ACL resource is occupied.

• For the CE12800: If an ACL-based simplified traffic policy is configured, a Layer 2 Ethernet interface can only redirect Layer 2 packets and a VLANIF interface can redirect both Layer 2 and Layer 3 packets.

• For the CE12800 and CE12800E equipped with ED-E, EG-E, and EGA-E series cards: If a traffic policy defines both rules for matching IPv4/IPv6 addresses and rules defining if-match any or Layer 2 fields, the rules defining if-match any or the Layer 2 fields take effect only for IPv4/IPv6 packets.
• Other precautions for applying an ACL-based simplified traffic policy in views including the VLANIF interface view, QoS group view, Layer 2 sub-interface view, and Eth-Trunk interface view are the same as those for applying an MQC-based traffic policy. For details, see "Licensing Requirements and Limitations for MQC" under "MQC Configuration" in the QoS Configuration Guide.
