Administrator Guide

mac-source-
address
Enter a MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-source-
address-mask
(OPTIONAL) Specify which bits in the MAC address must match. If no mask is specified,
a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 is applied (in other words, the filter allows only MAC
addresses that match).
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets the filter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the filter processes.
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to include ACL messages in the log.
threshold-in msgs
count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the threshold-in-msgs keyword followed by a value to indicate
the maximum number of ACL logs that can be generated, exceeding which the generation
of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit, or deny commands. The threshold
range is from 1 to 100.
interval minutes (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the time period in minutes at
which ACL logs must be generated. The threshold range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the traffic that you
want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule is applied to the
monitored interface. For more information, refer to the “Flow-based Monitoring” section
in the Port Monitoring chapter of the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.

Usage Information
When you use the log option, the CP processor logs detail the packets that match. Depending on how many
packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these packet details.
By default, 10 ACL logs are generated if you do not specify the threshold explicitly. The default frequency at which
ACL logs are generated is five minutes. By default, flow-based monitoring is not enabled.
Use the monitor option only when you are using flow-based monitoring. For more information, refer to the Port
Monitoring chapter in the C9000 Series Configuration Guide.
NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may
display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
