When user profiles are configured using vendor-specific attribute (VSA) Cisco AV-pairs, similar per-user IPv6 ACLs may be
replaced by a single template ACL. That is, one ACL represents many similar ACLs. By using IPv6 template ACLs, you can increase
the total number of per-user ACLs while minimizing the memory and Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) resources needed
to support the ACLs.
The IPv6 Template ACL feature can create templates using the following ACL fields:
-
IPv6 source and destination addresses
-
TCP and UDP, including all associated ports (0 through 65535)
-
ICMP neighbor discovery advertisements and solicitations
-
IPv6 DSCP with specified DSCP values
ACL names are dynamically generated by this feature; for example:
-
6Temp_#152875854573--Example of a dynamically generated template name for a template ACL parent
-
Virtual-Access2.32135#152875854573--Example of a child ACL or an ACL that has not yet been made part of a template.
