Details:
acl_entries: set of 1 or more ACL_entrys
A set of references to entries in the ACL_entry table.
acl_name: string (must be unique within table)
A human readable name for the ACL, which may (for example)
be displayed on the switch CLI.
Error Notification:
An entry in this column indicates to the NVC that the ACL could
not be configured as requested. The switch must clear this column
when the error has been cleared.
acl_fault_status : invalid_acl: none
Indicates that an ACL requested by the controller could
not be instantiated by the switch, e.g., because it
requires an unsupported combination of fields to be
matched.
acl_fault_status : resource_shortage: none
Indicates that an ACL requested by the controller could
not be instantiated by the switch due to a shortage of
resources (e.g. TCAM space).
acl_fault_status : unspecified_fault: none
Indicates that an error has occurred in configuring the
ACL but no more specific information is available.
