1-6
specified protocol type are of the same precedence level. Compare packets against the rule with
the highest precedence.
2) In case of a tie, look at the source IPv6 address prefixes. Then, compare packets against the rule
configured with a longer prefix for the source IPv6 address.
3) If the prefix lengths for the source IPv6 addresses are the same, look at the destination IPv6
address prefixes. Then, compare packets against the rule configured with a longer prefix for the
destination IPv6 address.
4) If the prefix lengths for the destination IPv6 addresses are the same, look at the Layer 4 port
number ranges, namely the TCP/UDP port number ranges. Then compare packets against the
rule configured with the smaller port number range.
5) If the port number ranges are the same, compare packets against the rule configured first.
The comparison of a packet against an ACL stops immediately after a match is found. The packet is
then processed as per the rule.

ACL Application
ACLs are widely used in technologies. One typical application is to apply different types of ACLs for
traffic filtering. For details, refer to
ACL Application for Packet Filtering
.
In addition, ACLs can be used in such fields as routing, security, and QoS. For configuration details,
refer to the related parts of this configuration manual.
