CLI Guide

generation of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit,
or deny commands. The threshold range is from 1 to 100.
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 five minutes. By default,
flow-based monitoring is not enabled.

Usage Information
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. For
more information, refer to the Quality of Service chapter of the Dell Networking OS
Configuration Guide.
You can configure either count (packets) or count (bytes). However, for an ACL
with multiple rules, you can configure some ACLs with count (packets) and others
as count (bytes) at any given time.
Most ACL rules require one entry in the CAM. However, rules with TCP and UDP
port operators (for example, gt, lt, or range) may require more than one entry. The
range of ports is configured in the CAM based on bit mask boundaries; the space
required depends on exactly what ports are included in the range.
When the configured maximum threshold is exceeded, generation of logs is
stopped. When the interval at which ACL logs are configured to be recorded
expires, the subsequent, fresh interval timer is started and the packet count for that
new interval commences from zero. If ACL logging was stopped previously
because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-enabled for this new interval.
If ACL logging is stopped because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-
enabled after the logging interval period elapses. ACL logging is supported for
standard and extended IPv4 ACLs, IPv6 ACLs, and MAC ACLs. You can configure
ACL logging only on ACLs that are applied to ingress interfaces; you cannot enable
logging for ACLs that are associated with egress interfaces.
You can activate flow-based monitoring for a monitoring session by entering the
flow-based enable command in the Monitor Session mode. When you enable
this capability, traffic with particular flows that are traversing through the ingress
