Configuration Examples User Manual338
For additional information about IP ACL rules, see Configure Rules for a Basic IP ACL on
page 275.
3. Click the Add button.
4. On the IP Rules page, create a second rule for IP ACL 1 with the following settings:
• Rule ID. 2
• Action. Permit
• Match Every. True
5. Click the Add button.
6. On the IP Binding Configuration page, assign ACL ID 1 to ports 2, 3, and 4, and assign a
sequence number of 1. (See
Configure IP ACL Interface Bindings on page 288.)
By default, this IP ACL is bound on the inbound direction, so it examines traffic as it
enters the switch.
7. Click the Apply button.
8. Use the IP Binding Table page to view the interfaces and IP ACL binding information. (See
View or Delete IP ACL Bindings in the IP ACL Binding Table on page 290)
The IP ACL in this example matches all packets with the source IP address and subnet mask
of the Finance department’s network and deny it on the Ethernet interfaces 2, 3, and 4 of the
switch. The second rule permits all non-Finance traffic on the ports. The second rule is
required because an explicit deny all rule exists as the lowest priority rule.
Differentiated Services (DiffServ)
Standard IP-based networks are designed to provide best effort data delivery service. Best
effort service implies that the network attempts to deliver the data in a timely fashion. During
times of congestion, packets might be delayed, sent sporadically, or dropped. For typical
Internet applications, such as email and file transfer, a slight degradation in service is
acceptable and in many cases unnoticeable. However, any degradation of service can
negatively affect applications with strict timing requirements, such as voice or multimedia.
Quality of Service (QoS) can provide consistent, predictable data delivery by distinguishing
between packets with strict timing requirements from those that are more tolerant of delay.
Packets with strict timing requirements are given special treatment in a QoS-capable
network. With this in mind, all elements of the network must be QoS capable. If one node
cannot meet the necessary timing requirements, this creates a deficiency in the network path
and the performance of the entire packet flow is compromised.
