Creating an ACL for an interface on a Brocade MLX

I need to create a ACL for an interface on a Brocade MLX.  I only need to deny traffic from a single host but this is turning out to be more challenging than I thought.

I created the following access list....

access-list 2 deny host aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
access-list 2 permit any

The interface I would like to apply this access list to is not a physical interface.  It is a virtual interface for a VLAN.  when I enter this command at the config config prompt...

Brocade(config-vif-2265)#ip access-group 2 in

I get an error telling me that the access list can not be applied to the interface because QOS is configured on this port.

I have been digging around in my Brocade documentation and I can't locate a workaround for this problem.  I really need to block this host.  Is there a way to use a ACL even if there is QOS on this port?

Is it a port or a RVI?

Looks like there are restrictions on how the ACL is entered, try removing the QOS, add acl then add back the qos?

That doesn't work.  I can remove the QOS and add the access list but when I try to add the QOS back in I get an error telling me that there is a L4 ACL on this interface and QOS can not be applied.

I have tried with a standard ACL and an extended ACL still can't get the ACL applied if the interface has QOS.  I am confused on why this is a problem for access lists....
Are you applying the filter to a port or the RVI?

Can you post your RVI config?

From the MLX user guide:

"Once you configure an ACL-based rate limiting policy on a port, you cannot configure a regular (traffic
filtering) ACL on the same port. To filter traffic, you must enable the strict ACL option."
