Command Line Reference Guide

NOTE: For more information, refer to the Flow-based
Monitoring section in the Port Monitoring chapter of the
Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.
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.

History
Version 9.4(0.0) Added support for flow-based monitoring on the MXL
10/40GbE Switch IO Module platform.
Version 9.3(0.0) Added support for logging of ACLs on the MXL 10/40GbE
Switch IO Module platform.
Version 8.2.1.0 Allows ACL control of fragmented packets for IP (Layer 3)
ACLs.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale.
Version 7.4.1.0 Added the monitor option.
Version 6.5.10 Expanded to include the optional QoS order priority for the
ACL entry.
Usage
Information
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. For
more information, refer to Port Monitoring.
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The
following applies:
• The seq sequence-number command is applicable only in an ACL group.
• The order option works across ACL groups that have been applied on an
interface via the QoS policy framework.
• The order option takes precedence over seq sequence-number.
• If sequence-number is not configured, the rules with the same order value are
ordered according to their configuration order.
• If sequence-number is configured, the sequence-number is used as a tie
breaker for rules with the same order.
When you use the log option, the 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.
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 to interfaces in Layer 2 mode.
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
