CLI Guide

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).
seq (for IP ACLs)
Assign a sequence number to a deny or permit filter in an extended IP access list while creating the filter.
Syntax
seq sequence-number {deny | permit} {ip-protocol-number | icmp
| ip | tcp | udp} {source mask | any | host ip-address}
{destination mask | any | host ip-address} [operator port
[port]] [count [byte]] [dscp value] [order] [fragments] [log
[interval minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]] [monitor]
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 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.
