Configuring ACLs on Huawei


-->
First of all, why ACLs? Did it have to be specific? Not really, it's just that I find configuring ACLs on Huawei a bit more complex or should I say. .structured. More complex in a sense that if you know how to configure ACLs on Cisco, you might find configuring it on Huawei a bit weird because it's kind of like the way route-map or a QoS policy is configured in Cisco. But don't get me wrong it's not that hard, really, all I'm saying is that its pretty similar as to the way those are configured but it doesn't necessarily mean its hard. It only takes a little bit of time to understand the equivalents especially for guys who had their basics the Cisco way just like me.

Now if you're already good at Cisco ACLs then this might be just a piece of cake for you to understand. There's just a little bit more to it but it's pretty easy to digest. First up, there are three new terms you would need to know – Traffic Classifier, Traffic Behavior and Traffic policy. Now let me introduce you to these terms (actually they're already the exact commands lol).
