Chapter 1 Controlling CSS Access

Controlling CSS Network Traffic Through Access Control Lists

Table 1-3 Field Descriptions for the show acl Command Output (continued)

Field

Description

 

 

Router Hits

Increments for a packet directly forwarded to the CSS

 

through a Telnet or FTP session or from a non-TCP or

 

UDP packet

 

 

DNS Hits

Increments for a packet that matches an ACL clause for

 

DNS flows

 

 

Setting the Show ACL Counters to Zero

Use the zero counts command to reset the content and DNS hit counters in the show acl command screen to zero for a specific ACL. You must be in an ACL to use this command. The CSS clears counters only for that ACL.

The syntax and options for this command are:

(config-acl[7])# zero counts

Logging ACL Activity

When you configure the CSS to log ACL activity, it logs the event of the packet matching the clause and ACL. The CSS sends log information to the location you specified in the logging command. For information on the logging command, refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide.

Note We do not recommend logging of an ACL or its clauses. If you enable ACL or clause logging, it may degrade the performance of the CSS.

Before you configure logging for a specific ACL clause, ensure that global ACL logging is enabled. To globally enable ACL logging, use the global configuration mode logging subsystem acl level debug-7command.

Because the CSS does not save the clause log enable command in the running-config, you must reenable logging if the CSS reboots.
