Enabling an Access List

Web Agent
Procedure

You can enable an access list on the switch through the Web Agent and the
CLI.
When you enable an ACL, the switch:
May change the maximum number of forwarding entries for IP
unicast traffic to improve the performance of the switch. If the
maximum number of entries is set to:
Less than 15,000, the switch automatically doubles the setting.
—
Between 15,000 and 30,000, the switch changes the setting to
—
30,000.
Greater than 30,000, the switch does not change the setting.
—
Automatically sets hash mode for IP unicast traffic to SA-DA. This
setting improves the performance of the switch when an ACL is
enabled.
