Reference Guide
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. For more 
information, refer to the Port Monitoring chapter.
The C-Series and S-Series cannot count both packets and bytes, when you enter the count 
byte options, only bytes are incremented.
NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters 
may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
