Usage

Information

When you use the log option, the 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.

NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters

may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.

Commands

deny – configures a filter to drop packets.

permit – configures a filter to forward packets.

Extended MAC ACL Commands

When an access-list is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects implicit permit.

The following commands configure Extended MAC ACLs.

The C-Series and S-Series platforms support Ingress MAC ACLs only.

The S4810 and Z9000 support both Ingress and Egress MAC ACLs.

NOTE: For more information, also refer to the Commands Common to all ACL Types and Common MAC Access List

Commands sections.
