CISCO C8540-ACL

This Access Control List (ACL) daughter card for the Catalyst 8540 is ideal for supporting high-speed Layer-3 Gigabit backbone applications that require Layer 3 Security Capabilities. This ACL Daughter Card is supported by the Catalyst 8540 platform, providing large enterprises and service providers with both Layer 3 and ATM switching in one integrated platform.

This ACL daughter card implements data-plane access lists in hardware, providing high-speed performance. This extends the traffic control and security capabilities of the Catalyst 8540 beyond control-plane access lists, which are currently supported.
