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 the Chapter 30, Port
Monitoring.
You cannot include IP, TCP or UDP filters in an ACL configured with ARP filters.
permit ether-type
e
Configure a filter that allows traffic with specified types of Ethernet packets. This command is
supported only on 12-port GE line cards with SFP optics; refer to your line card documentation for
specifications.
Syntax
permit ether-type protocol-type-number {destination-mac-address mac-address-mask |
any} vlan vlan-id {source-mac-address mac-address-mask | any} [count [byte] | log]
[order] [monitor]
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.
fragments Enter the keyword fragments to use ACLs to control packet fragments.
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 support for non-contiguous mask and added the
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.
