Module 10: ACLs – Access Control Lists

• Define ACLs and identify the criteria by which ACLs select traffic
• Configure ACLs on HPE Comware based switches to select given traffic
• Apply static ACLs to interfaces to meet the needs of a particular scenario
• Examine an ACL configuration and determine the action taken on specific packets

Module 11: QoS – Quality of Service

• Configure HPE Comware switches to honor the appropriate QoS marks applied by other devices
• Create a QoS policy that assigns a specified class of traffic to a priority queue
• Select and implement an appropriate strategy for queue scheduling
• Implement traffic policing policies that enforce the negotiated committed information rate (CIR), committed burst size (CBS), peak information rate (PIR), and excessive burst size (EBS) for a specified class of traffic
• Respond to congestion in advance by applying the appropriate traffic shaping and weighted random early detection (WRED) policies
• Determine the QoS mark that an HPE Comware switch will assign to specific traffic and, if necessary, adjust the mark
