z
Software-based application: An ACL is referenced by a piece of upper layer
software. For example, an ACL can be referenced to configure login user control
behavior, thus controlling Telnet, SNMP and Web users. Note that when an ACL is
reference by the upper layer software, actions to be taken on packets matching
the ACL depend on those defined by the ACL rules. For details about login user
control, refer to the part about login configuration in this manual.
Note:
z
When an ACL is assigned to a piece of hardware and referenced by a QoS policy for
traffic classification, the switch does not take action according to the traffic behavior
definition on a packet that does not match the ACL.
z
When an ACL is referenced by a piece of software to control Telnet, SNMP, and
Web login users, the switch denies all packets that do not match the ACL.

1.2.1 IPv4 ACL Classification
IPv4 ACLs, identified by ACL numbers, fall into four categories, as shown in
Table 1-1
