Access Control Lists (ACL) | 245
Usage
Information
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.

Commands
seq
c e s
Assign a sequence number to a deny or permit filter in a MAC access list while 
creating the filter.
Syntax
seq sequence-number {deny | permit} {any | mac-source-address 
[mac-source-address-mask]} [count [byte]] [log] [monitor]
Parameters
Version 7.5.1.0 Support added for C-Series
pre-Version 6.1.1.0 Introduced for E-Series
Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte 
counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging 
instead.
deny Configure a MAC ACL filter to drop packets.
seq Configure a MAC ACL filter with a specified sequence number.
sequence-number
Enter a number between 0 and 65535.
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.
any
Enter the keyword any to filter all packets.
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.
