Hi,

S-Series hardware - is the flow setup within the system ASIC done before handling ACLs?

Flow setup is done by the forwarding engine sending unknown traffic to the cpu. if there is an ACL that denies the connection the flow should not be allowed.

From what I've ssen, the ACLs are called last, meaning you can't use an ACL to prevent a flow from being set-up 
