WEB INTERFACE
To configure ACL policies and responses for a port:
1. Click Configuration, ACL, Ports.
2. Assign an ACL policy configured on the ACE Configuration page, specify
the responses to invoke when a matching frame is seen, including the
filter mode, copying matching frames to another port, or shutting down
the port. Note that the setting for rate limiting is implemented
regardless of whether or not a matching packet is seen.
3. Repeat the preceding step for each port to which an ACL will be applied.
4. Click Save.

CONFIGURING RATE
LIMITERS
The ACL Rate Limiter Configuration page is used to define the rate limits
applied to a port (as configured either through the ACL Ports Configuration
menu (page 118) or the Access Control List Configuration menu
(page 120).
PARAMETERS
The following options are displayed on the ACL Rate Limiter Configuration
page:
â—† Rate Limiter ID - Rate limiter identifier. (Range: 0-14; Default: 1)
â—† Rate (pps) - The threshold above which packets are dropped.
(Options: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K,
32K, 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1024K pps; Default: 1 pps)
Due to an ASIC limitation, the enforced rate limits are slightly less than
the listed options. For example: 1 Kpps translates into an enforced
threshold of 1002.1 pps.
