Re: VACL vs ACL

Besides allowing you to filter communication between two ports in the same
VLAN,
VACL allows you to capture or redirect traffic, so you can easily capture
traffic like SPAN port but only for specified parameters (MAC/IP/L4) or you
can redirect traffic, so it does not go to destination, but goes to where
you want it to go.

This is called VACL Capture
