Concept Guide
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask; therefore, a mask of ::::: allows entries 
that do not match and a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match 
exactly.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets the lter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the lter processes.
order (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS priority for the ACL entry. 
The range is 0 to 254 (where 0 is the highest priority and 254 is the lowest; lower-order 
numbers have a higher priority). If you do not use the keyword order, the ACLs have the 
lowest order by default (255).
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to enable the triggering of ACL log messages.
interval minutes (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the time period in minutes at 
which ACL logs must be generated. The interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
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.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the trac that you 
want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule is applied to the 
monitored interface.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the Flow-based Monitoring section in the 
Port Monitoring chapter of the 
Dell Networking OS Conguration Guide
.
Defaults
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 ve minutes. By default, ow-based monitoring is not enabled.

Usage Information
The monitor option is relevant in the context of ow-based monitoring only. For more information, refer to Port 
Monitoring.
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The following applies:
• The seq sequence-number command is applicable only in an ACL group.
