ACL Slices and Rules
The ExtremeSwitching series switches use a mechanism different from the earlier ExtremeSwitching series to implement ACLs. The same
architecture and guidelines apply to both
platforms.
Instead of the per port masks used in earlier switches, these
platforms use slices that can apply to any of the supported ports.
An ACL applied to a port may be supported by any of the slices.
The slice support is as follows:
- ExtremeSwitching 5320 switches—
- Four VLAN look-up stage
slices with 1,024 rules for 5320-48TP models.
- Eighteen ingress stage slices with 16,000
single-wide rules for 5320-48T/P and 24 and 16-port models.
- Eighteen ingress stage slices with 8,000
double-wide rules for 5320-48T/P and 24 and 16-port models.
- Four egress stage slices
with 1,024 rules for 5320-48T/P models.
- Four VLAN look-up stage slices with 512
rules for 5320-24 and 16-port variants models.
- Four egress stage slices with 512 rules for
5320-24 and 16-port variants.
- ExtremeSwitching 5420 switches—
- Four VLAN look-up stage
slices with 1,024 rules.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 36,000 single-wide rules for 5420M models.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 16,000 single-wide rules for 5420F models.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 18,000 double-wide rules for 5420M models.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 8,000 double-wide rules for 5420F models.
- Four egress stage slices
with 1,024 rules.
- ExtremeSwitching 5520 switches—
- Four VLAN look-up stage
slices with 2,048 rules.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 18,000 single-wide rules.
- Four egress stage slices
with 1,024 rules.
- ExtremeSwitching 5720 switches—
- Four VLAN look-up stage
slices with 2,048 rules.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 36,000 single-wide rules for 5720-MXW models.
- Twelve ingress stage
slices with 18,000 single-wide rules for 5720-MW models.
- Eighteen ingress stage
slices with 18,000 double-wide rules for 5720-MXW models.
- Twelve ingress stage
slices with 9,000 double-wide rules for 5720-MW models.
- Four egress stage slices
with 2,048 rules.
