ACL Binding
When an ACL is bound to an interface, all the rules that have been defined for the ACL are applied
to that interface. Whenever an ACL is assigned on a port or LAG, flows from that ingress or
egress interface that do not match the ACL, are matched to the default rule of dropping
unmatched packets. To bind an ACL to an interface, simply select an interface and select the
ACL(s) you wish to bind.
Port Select the port for which the ACLs are bound to.
MAC ACL Select the MAC ACL rule to apply to the port.
IPv4 ACL Select the IPv4 ACL rule to apply to the port.
IPv6 ACL Select the IPv6 ACL rule to apply to the port.
Click Apply to update the system settings.
QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) provides the ability to implement priority queuing within a network. QoS
is a means of providing consistent and predictable data delivery to the Switch by distinguishing
between packets that have stricter timing requirements from those that are more tolerant of
delays. QoS enables traffic to be prioritized while avoiding excessive broadcast and multicast
traffic. Traffic such as Voice and Video streaming which require minimal delays can be assigned
to a high priority queue, while other traffic can be assigned to a lower priority queue, resulting in
uninterrupted actions. Without QoS, all traffic data is as likely to be dropped when the network is
congested. This can result in reductions in network performance and hinder the network in time-
critical situations.
