Creating An Access Control List - Patton electronics SmartNode Series Software Configuration Manual

13 • Link scheduler configuration
In SmartWare access control lists are used for packet classification. Therefore a specific service policy has to be
defined in a first step, which is used afterwards in an access control list as an optional class of service (cos) group.
Refer to chapter 17, "Access control list configuration"
Packet classification using access control lists means to define outgoing traffic that is permitted on an interface
based on the type of protocol. In combination with the optional cos group, which specifies the priority for a
certain traffic type, a very powerful packet classification method is available.
Predefined internal classes for voice and other data are:
• local-voice—VoIP packets that originate from the SmartNode itself.
• local-default—All other packets that originate from the SmartNode itself.
• default—All traffic that has not otherwise been labeled.
The packet classification has to be defined as a first step. In SmartWare the access control list are used to tag
packets to a certain class.
Note
Keep in mind that the class local-default comprises all other classes, which
are not explicitly stated in a service policy profile.
