monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:

no seq sequence-number command syntax if you know the filter’s 
sequence number or 
• Use the 
no permit {any | mac-source-address mac-source-address-mask} command.

any
Enter the keyword any to forward all packets received with a 
MAC address.
mac-source-address 
Enter a MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-source-address-mask
(OPTIONAL) Specify which bits in the MAC address must 
match. If no mask is specified, a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 is 
applied (in other words, the filter allows only MAC addresses 
that match).
count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets 
processed by the filter.
byte
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes 
processed by the filter.
log (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword 
log to log the 
packets.
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, refer to the section “Flow-based 
Monitoring” in the Port Monitoring chapter of the FTOS 
Configuration Guide.
