Configure ACEs
Use an ACE to define packet attributes and the desired behavior for packets that carry the attribute or list of attributes.
Before you begin
The ACL exists. If you want to use IPv6 filters, you must specify the packet type as IPv6 at the ACL level to enable IPv6 filtering.
About this task
ACLs are by default created in enabled state while ACEs are by default created in disabled state. Use CLI commands to enable an ACE.
Procedure
Variable Definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the filter acl ace and the filter acl ace action commands.
