Information
When the configured maximum threshold is exceeded, generation of logs is 
stopped. When the interval at which ACL logs are configured to be recorded 
expires, the subsequent, fresh interval timer is started and the packet count for that 
new interval commences from zero. If ACL logging was stopped previously 
because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-enabled for this new interval.
If ACL logging is stopped because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-
enabled after the logging interval period elapses. ACL logging is supported for 
standard and extended IPv4 ACLs, IPv6 ACLs, and MAC ACLs. You can configure 
ACL logging only on ACLs that are applied to ingress interfaces; you cannot enable 
logging for ACLs that are associated with egress interfaces.

Commands
deny — assigns a filter to deny IP traffic.
deny tcp — assigns a filter to deny TCP traffic.
deny arp (for Extended MAC ACLs)
Configure an egress filter that drops ARP packets on egress ACL supported line cards. (For more 
information, refer to your line card documentation).
Syntax
deny arp {destination-mac-address mac-address-mask | any} vlan 
vlan-id {ip-address | any | opcode code-number} [count [byte]] 
[order] [log [interval minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]] 
[monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
• Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the filter’s 
sequence number.
• Use the no deny arp {destination-mac-address mac-address-mask 
| any} vlan vlan-id {ip-address | any | opcode code-number} 
command.
Parameters
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to enable the triggering 
of ACL log messages.
threshold-in 
msgs count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the threshold-in-msgs keyword 
followed by a value to indicate the maximum number of ACL 
logs that can be generated, exceeding which the generation 
of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit, or deny 
commands. The threshold range is from 1 to 100.
interval 
minutes
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the 
time period in minutes at which ACL logs must be generated. 
The time interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is 
describing the traffic that you want to monitor and the ACL
