Configuring Rate Limiters; Configuring Access Control Lists - AMX NXA-ENET8-2POE Operation/Reference Manual

Configuring the NXA-ENET8-2POE
1.
Click Configuration, ACL, Ports.
2.
Assign an ACL policy configured on the ACE Configuration page, specify the responses to invoke when
a matching frame is seen, including the filter mode, copying matching frames to another port, logging
matching frames, or shutting down the port. Note that the setting for rate limiting is implemented
regardless of whether or not a matching packet is seen.
3.
Repeat the preceding step for each port to which an ACL will be applied.
4.
Click Save.

Configuring Rate Limiters

Use the ACL Rate Limiter Configuration page to define the rate limits applied to a port (as configured either
through the ACL Ports Configuration menu (page 71) or the Access Control List Configuration menu
(page 73).

1.
Click Configuration, Security, Network, ACL, Rate Limiters.
2.
For any of the rate limiters, select the maximum ingress rate that will be supported on a port once a match
has been found in an assigned ACL.
3.
Click Save.

Configuring Access Control Lists

Use the Access Control List Configuration page to define filtering rules for an ACL policy, for a specific port,
or for all ports.
Rules applied to a port take effect immediately, while those defined for a policy must be mapped to one or
more ports using the ACL Ports Configuration menu (see the Configuring Authentication Through Network
Access Servers section on page 63).

Rate limiter identifier. (Range: 0-14; Default: 1)
The threshold above which packets are dropped. (Options: 0-100 pps, or 0, 100,
2*100, 3*100..., 1000000 kbps)
Note: Due to an ASIC limitation, the enforced rate limits are slightly less than the
listed options. For example: 1 Kpps translates into an enforced threshold of
1002.1 pps.
Unit of measure. (Options: pps or kbps; Default: pps)
