Configuring a Layer 3 and Layer 4 Policy Map
For a Layer 3 and Layer 4 traffic classification, you create a Layer 3 and Layer 4
policy map with actions to configure the following tasks:
• Network management traffic received by the ACE (HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP,
SSH, or Telnet)
• Server load balancing
• Application acceleration and optimization
• SSL security services between a web browser (the client) and the HTTP
connection (the server)
• Static or dynamic NATs
• HTTP deep packet inspection
• FTP command inspection
• Application protocol inspection
• IP, TCP, HTTP, and UDP connection behavior
For more information about the role of polic
y maps in the ACE, see the “Class
Map and Policy Map Overview” section.
This section outlines the general steps to con
figure a Layer 3 and Layer 4 network
traffic policy and contains the following topics:
