Information
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about 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
packets’ details.
any Enter the keyword any to forward all packets.
host Enter the keyword host followed by a MAC address to
forward packets with that host address.
mac-source-address
Enter the source MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-source-address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must be matched.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
mac-destination-address
Enter the destination MAC address and mask in
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-destination-address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must be matched.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
ethertype operator
(OPTIONAL) To filter based on protocol type, enter one of the
following Ethertypes:
•
ev2 - is the Ethernet II frame format.
•
llc - is the IEEE 802.3 frame format.
•
snap - is the IEEE 802.3 SNAP frame format.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets
processed by the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes
processed by the filter.
log (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to log the
packets.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is
describing the traffic that you want to monitor and the ACL in
which you are creating the rule will be applied to the monitored
interface. For details, see the section “Flow-based Monitoring”
in the Port Monitoring chapter of the FTOS Configuration
Guide.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.6.1.0 Support added for S-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Support added for C-Series
Version 7.4.1.0
Added
monitor option
pre-Version 6.1.1.0 Introduced for E-Series
Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters
may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
