Packet Filtering
Issue 4 May 2005 191
Note:
Note: A packet is filtered against the ACL policies defined in the ACL list in the list
order. The packet is matched against policy nu mber 1 fi rst, t hen poli cy number 2,
then policy number 3, and so on until the packet finds a match or it exhausts the
list. If a match is found, the VSU applies the action specified in the policy to the
packet. If no match is found, the VSU applies the default policy to the packet. The
default policy is to permit the packet.
