2. Use Rule ID to enter a whole number in the range of 1 to 12 that will be used to identify the
rule. An IP ACL may have up to 12 rules.
3. Configure the desired rule attributes:
• Use Action to specify what action should be taken if a packet matches the rule's
criteria. The choices are permit or deny.
• Use Logging to enable logging for this ACL rule (subject to resource availability in the
device). If the Access List Trap Flag is also enabled, this will cause periodic traps to
be generated indicating the number of times this rule was 'hit' during the current
report interval. A fixed 5 minute report interval is used for the entire system. A trap is
not issued if the ACL rule hit count is zero for the current interval. This field is visible
for a 'Deny' Action.
• Use Assign Queue ID to specify the hardware egress queue identifier used to handle
all packets matching this IPv6 ACL rule. Valid range of Queue IDs is 0 to 6. This field
is visible for a 'Permit' Action.
• Use Mirror Interface to specify the specific egress interface where the matching
traffic stream is copied in addition to being forwarded normally by the device. This
field cannot be set if a Redirect Interface is already configured for the ACL rule. This
field is visible for a 'Permit' Action.
• Use Redirect Interface to specify the specific egress interface where the matching
traffic stream is forced, bypassing any forwarding decision normally performed by the
device. This field cannot be set if a Mirror Interface is already configured for the ACL
rule. This field is visible for a 'Permit' Action.
• Use Match Every to select true or false from the pull down menu. True signifies that
all packets will match the selected IPv6 ACL and Rule and will be either permitted or
denied. In this case, since all packets match the rule, the option of configuring other
match criteria will not be offered. To configure specific match criteria for the rule,
remove the rule and recreate it, or reconfigure 'Match Every' to 'False' for the other
match criteria to be visible.
• Use Protocol to configure IPv6 protocol:
• Specify an integer ranging from 0 to 255 after selecting protocol keyword “other”.
This number represents the IP protocol.
• Select name of a protocol from the existing list of Internet Protocol (IP),
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP).
• Use Source Prefix/Prefix Length to specify IPv6 Prefix combined with IPv6 Prefix
length of the network or host from which the packet is being sent. Prefix length can be
in the range 0 to 128.
