Access Control Lists (ACL) | 245

Information

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.
