Displaying ACL information

Syntax: show access-list hw-usage on off

Syntax: show access-list access-list-idall

By default, hardware usage statistics are disabled. To been enabled, use the show access-listhw-usage off

disable hardware usage statistics after is has command.

The access-list-idvariable is a valid ACL name or number.

Displaying ACL information

To display the number of entries used by each ACL, enter the following command.

Brocade# show ip access-lists

Extended IP access list 100: 1 entry deny ip any any

Syntax: show access-list ACL-numACL-nameall

The Rule cam use field lists the number of CAM entries used by the ACL or entry. The number of CAM entries listed for the ACL itself is the total of the CAM entries used by the ACL entries.

For flow-based ACLs, the Total flows and Flows fields list the number of Layer 4 session table flows in use for the ACL.

The Total packets and Packets fields apply only to flow-based ACLs.

Troubleshooting ACLs

Use the following methods to troubleshoot access control lists (ACLs):

To display the number of Layer 4 CAM entries being used by each ACL, enter the show access-listACL-num ACL-name all command. Refer to “Displaying ACL information” on page 119.

To determine whether the issue is specific to fragmentation, remove the Layer 4 information (TCP or UDP application ports) from the ACL, then reapply the ACL.

If you are using another feature that requires ACLs, either use the same ACL entries for filtering and for the other feature, or change to flow-based ACLs.

Policy Based Routing

Policy-Based Routing (PBR) allows you to use ACLs and route maps to selectively modify and route IP packets in hardware. The ACLs classify the traffic. Route maps that match on the ACLs set routing attributes for the traffic.

A PBR policy specifies the next hop for traffic that matches the policy. Using standard ACLs with PBR, you can route IP packets based on their source IP address. With extended ACLs, you can route IP packets based on all of the clauses in the extended ACL.
