NOTE: Enabling Direct Path Forwarding (also known as local switching) for a given AP affects the number of
ACEs that can be applied within a single ACL policy to a user connecting to that AP. When local
switching is enabled on an AP in version 6.0.5.1 or greater of RAS firmware, up to 25 ACEs in an ACL
policy can be applied to a user of that AP. Please refer to the Firmware Changes and Enhancements
section for more information.
