Access Control Lists (ACLs)
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are Quality of Service (QoS) policies used to control whether or not packets are allowed or denied at the switch or router interface. ACLs are sometimes referred to as filtering lists.
ACLs are distinguished by the kind of traffic they filter. In a QoS policy rule, the type of traffic is speci- fied in the policy condition. The policy action determines whether the traffic is allowed or denied.
In general, the types of ACLs include:
•Layer 2
•Layer 3/4
•Multicast
Access Control Lists (ACLs) for IPv6
The 6.1.3.R01 release provides support for IPv6 ACLs on the OmniSwitch 6850 Series and OmniSwitch 9000 Series. The following QoS policy conditions are now available for configuring ACLs to filter IPv6 traffic:
source ipv6 destination ipv6 ipv6
nh (next header) flow-label
Note the following when using IPv6 ACLs:
•Trusted/untrusted behavior is the same for IPv6 traffic as it is for IPv4 traffic.
•IPv6 policies do not support the use of network groups, service groups, map groups, or MAC groups.
•IPv6 multicast policies are not supported.

•The default
Note. IPv6 ACLs are not supported on A1 NI modules. Use the show ni command to verify the version of the NI module. Contact your
