not enabled.

Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000–ON.
9.4(0.0) Added support for ow-based monitoring on the S4810, S4820T, S6000, and 
Z9000 platforms.
9.3.0.0 Added support for logging of ACLs on the S4810, S4820T, and Z9000 platforms.
Usage Information
When the congured maximum threshold is exceeded, generation of logs is stopped. When the interval at 
which ACL logs are congured 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 congured threshold is exceeded, it is re-enabled for this new interval.
If ACL logging is stopped because the congured 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 congure ACL logging only on ACLs that are applied to ingress interfaces; you cannot 
enable logging for ACLs that are associated with egress interfaces.
You can activate ow-based monitoring for a monitoring session by entering the flow-based enable 
command in the Monitor Session mode. When you enable this capability, trac with particular ows that are 
traversing through the ingress and egress interfaces are examined and, appropriate ACLs can be applied in 
both the ingress and egress direction. Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only 
specied trac instead all trac on the interface. This feature is particularly useful when looking for 
malicious trac. It is available for Layer 2 and Layer 3 ingress and egress trac. You may specify trac using 
standard or extended access-lists. This mechanism copies all incoming or outgoing packets on one port and 
forwards (mirrors) them to another port. The source port is the monitored port (MD) and the destination 
port is the monitoring port (MG).
Related Commands
ip access-list extended — creates an extended ACL.
permit — assigns a permit lter for IP packets.
permit tcp — assigns a permit lter for TCP packets.
permit (for Extended IP ACLs)
To pass IP packets meeting the lter criteria, congure a lter.
Syntax
permit {source mask | any | host ip-address} {destination mask | any | host 
ip-address} [count [bytes]] [dscp value] [order] [fragments] [log [interval 
minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]] [monitor]
To remove this lter, you have two choices:
• Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the lter’s sequence number.
