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 — create an extended ACL.
• permit tcp — assign a permit lter for TCP packets.
• permit udp — assign a permit lter for UDP packets.
permit (for Standard MAC ACLs)
To forward packets from a specic source MAC address, congure a lter.
Syntax
permit {any | mac-source-address [mac-source-address-mask]} [count [byte]] | 
[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.
•
Use the no permit {any | mac-source-address mac-source-address-mask} 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 interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the trac that you 
want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule is applied to the 
monitored interface.
Defaults
By default, 10 ACL logs are generated if you do not specify the threshold explicitly.
The default frequency at which ACL logs are generated is 5 minutes. By default, ow-based monitoring is not 
enabled.
