ACLs and IP Access Policies to Filter IP Traffic

RUCKUS Layer 3 switches provide two mechanisms for filtering IP traffic:

• Access Control Lists (ACLs): Provide flexibility by providing the input to various other filtering mechanisms such as route maps, which are used by BGP4.
• IP access policies: Allow you to configure QoS based on sessions (Layer 4 traffic flows).

Only one of these filtering mechanisms can be enabled on a RUCKUS device at a time. RUCKUS devices can store forwarding information for both methods of filtering in the session table.

For configuration information, refer to the "ACLs" chapter in the RUCKUS FastIron Security Configuration Guide.
