Advanced ACLs support analysis and processing of three packet priority levels: type of service (ToS) 
priority, IP priority and differentiated services codepoint (DSCP) priority.  
Using advanced ACLs, you can define classification rules that are more accurate, more abundant, and 
more flexible than those defined for basic ACLs.  
Configuration Prerequisites 
z  To configure a time range-based advanced ACL rule, you need to create the corresponding time 
ranges first. For information about of time range configuration, refer to section 
Configuring Time 
Range
. 
z  The settings to be specified in the rule, such as source and destination IP addresses, the protocols 
carried by IP, and protocol-specific features, are determined.

Required  
For information about protocol and 
rule-string, refer to ACL Commands.
Assign a description

No description by default 
 
Note that: 
z  With the config match order specified for the advanced ACL, you can modify any existent rule. The 
unmodified part of the rule remains. With the auto match order specified for the ACL, you cannot 
modify any existent rule; otherwise the system prompts error information.  
z  If you do not specify the rule-id argument when creating an ACL rule, the rule will be numbered 
automatically. If the ACL has no rules, the rule is numbered 0; otherwise, the number of the rule will 
be the greatest rule number plus one. If the current greatest rule number is 65534, however, the 
system will display an error message and you need to specify a number for the rule.  
z  The content of a modified or created rule cannot be identical with the content of any existing rules; 
otherwise the rule modification or creation will fail, and the system prompts that the rule already 
exists.  
z  If the ACL is created with the auto keyword specified, the newly created rules will be inserted in the 
existent ones by depth-first principle, but the numbers of the existent rules are unaltered.  
Configuration Example 
# Configure ACL 3000 to permit the TCP packets sourced from the network 129.9.0.0/16 and with the 
destination port number being 80.
