Determine the Order in which ACLs are Used to Classify Traffic When you link class-maps to queues using the service-queue command, the system matches the classmaps according to queue priority (queue numbers closer to 0 have lower priorities). As shown in the following example, class-map cmap2 is matched against ingress packets before cmap1. ACLs acl1 and acl2 have overlapping rules because the address range 20.1.1.0/24 is within 20.0.0.0/8. Therefore (without the keyword order), packets within the range 20.1.1.0/24 match positive against cmap1 and are buffered in queue 7, though you intended for these packets to match positive against cmap2 and be buffered in queue 4. In cases such as these, where class-maps with overlapping ACL rules are applied to different queues, use the order keyword to specify the order in which you want to apply ACL rules. The order can range from 0 to 254. The system writes to the CAM ACL rules with lower-order numbers (order numbers closer to 0) before rules with higher-order numbers so that packets are matched as you intended. By default, all ACL rules have an order of 254.

It extends the existing ACL command syntax with the fragments keyword for all Layer 3 rules applicable to all Layer protocols (permit/deny ip/tcp/udp/icmp). • Both standard and extended ACLs support IP fragments. • Second and subsequent fragments are allowed because a Layer 4 rule cannot be applied to these fragments. If the packet is to be denied eventually, the first fragment would be denied and hence the packet as a whole cannot be reassembled. • Implementing the required rules uses a significant number of CAM entries per TCP/UDP entry.
