Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000–ON.
9.4(0.0) Added the support for flow-based monitoring on the S4810,
S4820T, S6000, and Z9000 platforms.
9.3(0.0) Added the support for logging of ACLs on the S4810,
S4820T, and Z9000 platforms.
Usage
Information
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, standard and extended IPv6 ACLs, and standard
and extended 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
theflow-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).
