Example of the redistribute Command Using a Route Tag
!
router rip
redistribute ospf 34 metric 1 route-map torip
!
route-map torip permit 10
match route-type internal
set tag 34
!
Continue Clause
Normally, when a match is found, set clauses are executed, and the packet is then forwarded; no more route-map modules are
processed.
If you congure the continue command at the end of a module, the next module (or a specied module) is processed even after a
match is found. The following example shows a continue clause at the end of a route-map module. In this example, if a match is
found in the route-map “test” module 10, module 30 is processed.
NOTE: If you congure the continue clause without specifying a module, the next sequential module is processed.
Example of Using the continue Clause in a Route Map
!
route-map test permit 10
match commu comm-list1
set community 1:1 1:2 1:3
set as-path prepend 1 2 3 4 5
continue 30!
Logging of ACL Processes
To assist in the administration and management of trac that traverses the device after being validated by the congured ACLs, you
can enable the generation of logs for access control list (ACL) processes. Although you can congure ACLs with the required permit
or deny lters to provide access to the incoming packet or disallow access to a particular user, it is also necessary to monitor and
examine the trac that passes through the device. To evaluate network trac that is subjected to ACLs, congure the logs to be
triggered for ACL operations. This functionality is primarily needed for network supervision and maintenance activities of the handled
subscriber trac.
When ACL logging is congured, and a frame reaches an ACL-enabled interface and matches the ACL, a log is generated to indicate
that the ACL entry matched the packet.
When you enable ACL log messages, at times, depending on the volume of trac, it is possible that a large number of logs might be
generated that can impact the system performance and eciency. To avoid an overload of ACL logs from being recorded, you can
congure the rate-limiting functionality. Specify the interval or frequency at which ACL logs must be triggered and also the threshold
or limit for the maximum number of logs to be generated. If you do not specify the frequency at which ACL logs must be generated,
a default interval of 5 minutes is used. Similarly, if you do not specify the threshold for ACL logs, a default threshold of 10 is used,
where this value refers to the number of packets that are matched against an ACL .
A Layer 2 or Layer 3 ACL contains a set of dened rules that are saved as ow processor (FP) entries. When you enable ACL logging
for a particular ACL rule, a set of specic ACL rules translate to a set of FP entries. You can enable logging separately for each of
these FP entries, which relate to each of the ACL entries congured in an ACL. Dell Networking OS saves a table that maps each
ACL entry that matches the ACL name on the received packet, sequence number of the rule, and the interface index in the
database. When the congured maximum threshold has exceeded, log generation stops. When the interval at which ACL logs are
congured to be recorded expires, a fresh interval timer starts and the packet count for that new interval commences from zero. If
ACL logging was stopped previously because the congured threshold has exceeded, it is reenabled for this new interval.
