Configuring IPv6 ACLs
Default Settings
You can create both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs on a switch, and you can apply both IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs to the same
interface.
—
Each ACL must have a unique name; and, an error message appears if you try to use a name that already exists
on the switch.
—
You use different commands to create IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and to attach IPv4 or IPv6 ACLs to the same Layer 2
or Layer 3 interface.
If you use the wrong command to attach an ACL (for example, an IPv4 command to attach an IPv6 ACL), you
receive an error message.
You cannot use MAC ACLs to filter IPv6 frames. MAC ACLs can only filter non-IP frames.
If the hardware memory is full, for any additional configured ACLs, the switch forwards the packets to the CPU, and
the software applies the ACLs.
