Creating an ACL interface

To create an ACL interface:

  1. In the menu, go to the Infrastructure section.

    This opens the resource management page. By default, the Network resources tab is selected, which displays the table of controllers.

  2. Click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller.

    This opens the controller configuration menu. By default, you are taken to the Controller nodes section, which displays a table of controller nodes.

  3. Go to the Service interfaces section.

    A table of service interfaces and ACL interfaces is displayed.

  4. In the Switch and Port drop-down lists, select the CPE device and the OpenFlow port to which the created service interface is mapped.
  5. Click Create new.
  6. This opens a window; in that window, in the Type drop-down list, select ACL.
  7. In the Service interface drop-down list, select the service interface to which the ACL interface is mapped.
  8. In the Traffic fliter drop-down list, select the created traffic filter for the ACL interface. You can use the same traffic filter for multiple ACL interfaces.
  9. In the Sequence drop-down list, select the sequential number of the ACL interface. Traffic is directed first to the ACL interface with the lowest number. If the filter used on an ACL interface does not take in the traffic, the traffic is sent to the second ACL interface, and so on.

    Range of values: 1 to 4. Two ACL interfaces with the same serial number cannot be mapped to the same service interface.

  10. If necessary, enter a brief description of the ACL interface in the Description field.
  11. Click Create.

The ACL interface is created and displayed in the table.
