Service Manual

port port Enter the application layer port number. Enter two port numbers if you are using the
range logical operand. The range is 0 to 65535.
destination Enter the IP address of the network or host to which the packets are sent.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed by the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the filter.
order (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS priority for the ACL entry.
The range is from 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).
fragments Enter the keyword fragments to use ACLs to control packet fragments.
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.
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.

Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
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 Operating System 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 and egress interfaces are examined and, appropriate ACLs can be applied in both
the ingress and egress direction. Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only specified traffic
instead all traffic on the interface. This feature is particularly useful when looking for malicious traffic. It is available
