Configuring access control lists
Packet filtering helps to control packet movement through the network. Such control can help to limit net-
work traffic and to restrict network use by certain users or devices.
An access control list is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions that apply to packets on a certain
interface. Access control lists can be configured for all routed network protocols (IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and
SCTP) to filter the packets of those protocols as the packets pass through a SmartNode. SmartWare tests pack-
ets against the conditions in an access list one by one. The first match determines whether SmartWare accepts
or rejects the packet. Because SmartWare stops testing conditions after the first match, the order of the condi-
tions is critical. If no conditions match, the software rejects the address.
For information and examples on how configure access control lists, refer to chapter 18,
“Access control list
configuration”
on page 206.
Configuring quality of service (QoS)
The link scheduler enables the definition of QoS profiles for network traffic on a certain interface, as shown in
figure 16
on page 106. QoS refers to the ability of a network to provide improved service to selected network
traffic over various underlying technologies including Frame Relay, Ethernet and 802.x type networks, and IP-
routed networks. In particular, QoS features provide improved and more predictable network service by pro-
viding the following services:
•
Supporting dedicated bandwidth
•
Improving loss characteristics
•
Avoiding and managing network congestion
•
Shaping network traffic
•
Setting traffic priorities across the network
The QoS features described in chapter 13,
“Link scheduler configuration”
on page 141 address these diverse
and common needs.
