Applying a Meter to Ingress or Egress Traffic

You can apply a meter to ingress traffic using an ACL on BlackDiamond 8800 series switches, SummitStack, and Summit family switches. You can apply a meter to egress traffic using an ACL on BlackDiamond c-, xl-, and xm-series modules, Summit X480, X460, X670, and X770 series switches, and the E4G400 router.

Use rules within the ACL to identify the ingress traffic to which you want to apply the meter. Apply the meter by specifying the meter name with the meter metername action modifier. For information on completing the ACL configuration, see Configuring an ACL-Based Traffic Group.
