ACL Commands
This chapter describes commands for:
●
Creating and configuring IP access lists (ACLs)
IP access lists
(also referred to as Access Lists or ACLs) consist of IP access rules and are used to perform
packet filtering and forwarding decisions on traffic traversing the switch. Each packet on an interface is
compared to the access list in sequential order and is either forwarded to a specified QoS profile or
dropped. Additionally, for the BlackDiamond 8800 series and Summit X450 family switches only,
packets can be metered using ACLs. Using access lists has no impact on switch performance.
Access lists are typically applied to traffic that crosses layer 3 router boundaries, but it is possible to use
access lists within a layer 2 VLAN. Extreme products are capable of performing this function with no
additional configuration.
NOTE
Although ExtremeWare XOS does not prohibit mixing ACL and routing type entries in a policy file, it is strongly
recommended that you do not mix the entries, and you use separate policy files for ACL and routing policies.
