for an IPv6 basic or advanced ACL, among all IPv6 ACLs. You can assign an IPv4 ACL the same number
and name as an IPv6 ACL.
Match order
The rules in an ACL are sorted in certain order. When a packet matches a rule, the device stops the
match process and performs the action defined in the rule. If an ACL contains overlapping or conflicting
rules, the matching result and action to take depend on the rule order.
The following ACL match orders are available:
•
config—Sorts ACL rules in ascending order of rule ID. A rule with a lower ID is matched before a
rule with a higher ID. If you use this approach, check the rule content and order carefully.
•
auto—Sorts ACL rules in depth-first order. Depth-first ordering guarantees that any subset of a rule
is always matched before the rule.
lists the sequence of tie breakers that depth-first ordering
uses to sort rules for each type of ACL.
NOTE:
The match order of user-defined ACLs can only be config.
