Wildcard Mask. Defines the source IP address wildcard mask. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and
which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of
0.0.0.0 indicates that all the bits are important. For example, if the source IP address 149.36.184.198 and the
wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00, the first eight bits of the IP address are ignored, while the last eight bits are
used.
Dest. IP Address. Matches the destination port IP address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.
Wildcard Mask. Defines the destination IP address wildcard mask.

used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-63.
Match IP Precedence. Matches the packet IP Precedence value to the ACE. Either the DSCP value or the IP
Precedence value is used to match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-7.
