Access Control Lists (ACL) | 235
Usage
Information
The monitor option is relevant in the context of the flow-based monitoring feature 
only. Refer to the Port Monitoring chapter. 
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 
order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The 
following applies:
•The 
seq sequence-number is applicable only in an ACL group.
•The 
order option works across ACL groups that have been applied on an interface 
via QoS policy framework.
•The 
order option takes precedence over the seq sequence-number.
• If 
sequence-number is not configured, then rules with the same order value are 
ordered according to their configuration order. 
• If the 
sequence-number is configured, then the sequence-number is used as a tie 
breaker for rules with the same order. 
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 filters to interfaces in Layer 2 mode.
seq 
c e s
Assign a sequence number to a deny or permit filter in an extended IP access list 
while creating the filter.
Syntax
seq sequence-number {deny | permit} {ip-protocol-number | icmp | ip | tcp | udp} 
{
source mask | any | host ip-address} {destination mask | any | host ip-address} [operator 
port [port]] [count [byte] | log] [dscp value] [order] [monitor] [fragments]
Parameters
Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte 
counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging 
instead.
sequence-number
Enter a number from 0 to 4294967290.
S4810 and S4820T Range: 1 to 65534
deny
Enter the keyword deny to configure a filter to drop packets meeting this 
condition.
permit
Enter the keyword permit to configure a filter to forward packets meeting 
this criteria.
ip-protocol-number
Enter a number from 0 to 255 to filter based on the protocol identified in the 
IP protocol header.
icmp 
Enter the keyword icmp to configure an ICMP access list filter.
