We are not using PBR, but we do use L2 and L3 ACLs (L2 extensively) and everything has worked as outlined in the config guide. The CES/XMR platform is far better than the FESX platform when it comes to combining features. For us this means that we can now rate limit, modify prioritization, and perform other functions on a single port, where with the FESX we had to pick and choose because we could not use features simultaneously on a port.
