Command Line Reference Guide

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 did 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.
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to enable the triggering
of ACL log messages.
threshold-in-
msgs count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the threshold-in-msgs keyword then a
value to indicate the maximum number of ACL logs that can
be generated, exceeding which the generation of ACL logs
are terminated with the seq, permit, or deny commands.
The threshold range is from 1 to 100.
interval
minutes
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval then the time
period in minutes at which the ACL logs must be generated.
The time interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
Defaults By default 10 ACL logs are generated if you do not specify the threshold explicitly.
The default frequency at which the ACL logs are generated is five minutes.

History
Version 9.3(0.0) Added the support for logging of ACLs on the MXL 10/40GbE
Switch IO Module platform.
Version 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 Networking OS
Configuration Guide.
In the MXL switch, 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
