Usage
Information
When you use the log option, the CP processor logs detail the packets that match. Depending on how
many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these
packet details.
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 five minutes. By default, flow-based monitoring is not enabled.
Use the monitor option only when you are using flow-based monitoring. For more information, refer to
the Port Monitoring chapter in the C9000 Series Configuration Guide.
NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may
display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
