Information
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. See the “Quality of
Service” chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide for more information.
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about 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
packets’ details.
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. See Chapter 45, Port
Monitoring.
You cannot include IP, TCP or UDP (Layer 3) filters in an ACL configured with ARP or Ether-type
(Layer 2) filters. Apply Layer 2 ACLs (ARP and Ether-type) to Layer 2 interfaces only.
source-mac-address
mac-address-mask
Enter a MAC address and mask in the nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
For the MAC address mask, specify which bits in the MAC address must
match.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 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 processed by
the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the
filter.
log (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to have the
information kept in an ACL log file.
order (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS priority for
the ACL entry.
Range: 0-254 (where 0 is the highest priority and 254 is the lowest;
lower order numbers have a higher priority)
Default: If the order keyword is not used, the ACLs have the lowest
order by default (255).
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 will be applied to the monitored interface. For details, see the
section “Flow-based Monitoring” in the Port Monitoring chapter of the
FTOS Configuration Guide.
Version 8.2.1.0 Allows ACL control of fragmented packets for IP (Layer 3) ACLs.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.4.1.0
Added
monitor option
Version 6.5.10
Expanded to include the optional QoS
order priority for the ACL entry.
Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters
may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
