Users Guide

can configure 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 flow-based monitoring for a monitoring session by entering the flow-based enable command in
the Monitor Session mode. When you enable this capability, traffic with particular flows 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 specified traffic instead 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 and egress traffic. You may specify traffic 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).

Commands
• ip access-list standard — configure a standard ACL.
• permit — configure a permit filter.
deny (for Extended IP ACLs)
Configure a filter that drops IP packets meeting the filter criteria.
Syntax
deny {ip | ip-protocol-number} {source mask | any | host ip-address}
{destination mask | any | host ip-address} [count [byte]] [dscp value] [order]
[monitor] [fragments] [log [interval minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]]
[monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
• Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the filter’s sequence number.
• Use the no deny {ip | ip-protocol-number} {source mask | any | host ip-address}
{destination mask | any | host ip-address} 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 time interval range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
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 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 five minutes. By default, flow-based monitoring is not
enabled.
