Summary of ACL Actions
Actions determine how the traffic is treated. The GbE2c QoS actions include the following:
Pass or Drop
Re-mark a new DiffServ Code Point (DSCP)
Re-mark the 802.1p field
Set the COS queue
ACL Order of Precedence
When multiple ACLs are assigned to a port, the order in which the ACLs are applied to port traffic
(or whether they are applied at all) depends on the following factors:
The precedence group in which the ACL resides;
The ACL number;
Whether a prior ACL in the precedence group is also matched;
And whether the ACL action is compatible with preceding ACLs.
ACLs are divided into Precedence Groups, as shown in the following table. Each Precedence Group
provides a different set of packet classifiers for the ACLs within the Precedence Group.
