Using ACL Filters
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are filters that allow you to classify and segment
traffic, so you can provide different levels of service to different traffic types. Each
filter defines conditions that packets must match for inclusion in a particular
service class, and also the actions that are performed for matching traffic.
The NE2552E allows you to classify packets based on various parameters. For
example:
 Ethernet—source MAC, destination MAC, VLAN number/mask, Ethernet type,
priority
 IPv4—source IP address/mask, destination address/mask, type of service, IP
protocol number
 IPv6—source IP address/prefix, destination address/prefix, next header, flow
label, traffic class
 TCP/UPD—source port, destination port, TCP flag
 Packet format—Ethernet format, tagging format, IPv4, IPv6
 Egress port
For ACL details, see “Access Control Lists” on page 121 .
Summary of ACL Actions
Actions determine how the traffic is treated. The NE2552E QoS actions include the
following:
 Pass or Drop the packet
 Re ‐ mark the packet with a new DiffServ Code Point (DSCP)
 Re ‐ mark the 802.1p field
 Set the COS queue
ACL Metering and Re-Marking
You can define a profile for the aggregate traffic flowing through the NE2552E by
configuring a QoS meter (if desired) and assigning ACL Groups to ports. When
you add ACL Groups to a port, make sure they are ordered correctly in terms of
precedence.
Actions taken by an ACL are called In ‐ Profile actions. You can configure additional
In ‐ Profile and Out ‐ of ‐ Profile actions on a port. Data traffic can be metered, and
re ‐ marked to ensure that the traffic flow provides certain levels of service in terms
of bandwidth for different types of network traffic.
