Re: VACL vs ACL

When an access-list is applied to an SVI, it only matches traffic
routed THROUGH the SVI. on the other hand, traffic within vlans dont
necessarily pass through the SVI, so ACLs applied to SVIs are not
adequate to match such traffic. VLAN access-maps are designed to do
just that.
So by design, they perform entirely different functions.
