The show ip accounting commands have been enhanced to display whether monitoring is enabled for traffic that matches with the
rules of the specific ACL.
Example Output of the show Command
DellEMC# show ip accounting access-list

Enabling Flow-Based Monitoring
Flow-based monitoring is supported on the platform.
Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only specified traffic instead of all traffic on the interface. This feature is
particularly useful when looking for malicious traffic. It is available for Layer 2 and Layer 3 ingress traffic. You can specify traffic using
standard or extended access-lists.
1. Enable flow-based monitoring for a monitoring session.
MONITOR SESSION mode
flow-based enable
2. Define access-list rules that include the keyword monitor. Dell Networking OS only considers port monitoring traffic that matches
rules with the keyword
monitor.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip access-list
For more information, see Access Control Lists (ACLs).
3. Apply the ACL to the monitored port.
INTERFACE mode
ip access-group access-list
To view an access-list that you applied to an interface, use the show ip accounting access-list command from EXEC Privilege
mode.
