White Papers

mask (OPTIONAL) Enter a network mask in /prefix format (/x) or A.B.C.D. The mask,
when specified in A.B.C.D format, may be either contiguous or non-contiguous.
any Enter the keyword any to specify that all routes are subject to the filter.
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets the filter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the filter processes.
dscp (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword dcsp to match to the IP DCSCP values.
order (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS order for the ACL
entry. The range is from 0 to 254 (where 0 is the highest priority and 254 is the
lowest; lower-order numbers have a higher priority). If you do not use the keyword
order, the ACLs have the lowest order by default (255).
fragments Enter the keyword fragments to use ACLs to control packet fragments.
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.
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.

Usage
Information
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. The following applies:
● The seq sequence-number command is applicable only in an ACL group.
● The order option works across ACL groups that have been applied on an interface via the QoS policy
framework.
● The order option takes precedence over seq sequence-number.
● If sequence-number is not configured, the rules with the same order value are ordered according to
their configuration order.
● If sequence-number is configured, the sequence-number is used as a tie breaker for rules with the
same order.
When the configured maximum threshold is exceeded, generation of logs is stopped. When the interval
at which ACL logs are configured to be recorded expires, the subsequent, fresh interval timer is started
and the packet count for that new interval commences from zero. If ACL logging was stopped previously
because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-enabled for this new interval.
If ACL logging is stopped because the configured threshold is exceeded, it is re-enabled after the logging
interval period elapses. ACL logging is supported for standard and extended IPv4 ACLs, IPv6 ACLs, and
MAC ACLs. You 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
