Operational Considerations
This section documents the operational considerations related to Skylight Flex 25 release 23.09.
Access Control List Considerations
The order of operation/matching of ACL rules is based on the order of the ACL configuration; a separate field/configuration to specify priority of the ACL is not supported.
ACLs associated with the port, when requiring modification, will have to be deleted and reconfigured with updated field value.
