4. Click the Add button within the Associated Rules field.

5. Use the Precedence field to enter a precedence (priority) value between 1 and 5000.

The rules within an ACL will be applied to packets based on their precedence value. Rules with
lower precedence are always applied first.

NOTE

If adding an access control entry to an ACL using the switch SNMP interface, Precedence is a
required parameter.

the action is to mark, the packet is tagged for priority.

7. Select the Logging checkbox to generate log messages when a packet has been forwarded,

denied or marked based on the criteria specified in the access lists.

8. If mark is selected from within the Operations drop-down menu, the Attribute to mark field is

enabled. Select the 802.1p (0 - 7) or TOS(0 - 255) or DSCP(0-63) checkbox and define the
attribute receiving priority with this ACL mark designation.

9. From within the Filters field, select a Source Mask Length from the drop-down menu.

The Source Mask Length is the size of the network or host (in mask format). The mask length

displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and
the switch.
