IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Monitoring Static ACL Performance

Note

Monitoring Static ACL Performance

ACL statistics counters provide a means for monitoring ACL performance by using counters to display the current number of matches the switch has detected for each ACE in an ACL assigned to a switch interface. This can help, for example, to determine whether a particular traffic type is being filtered by the intended ACE in an assigned list, or if traffic from a particular device or network is being filtered as intended.

This section describes the command for monitoring static ACL performance. To monitor RADIUS-assigned ACL performance, use either of the following commands:

show access-list radius < all port-list>

show port-access < authenticator mac-based web-based > clients

<port-list > detailed

Refer to “Displaying the Current RADIUS-Assigned ACL Activity on the Switch” on page 6-26.

Syntax: show statistics

aclv4 < acl-name-str > port < port-# >

aclv4 < acl-name-str> vlan < vid > < in out vlan >

Displays the current match (hit) count per ACE for the speci­ fied IPv4 static ACL assignment on a specific interface:

Total: This column lists the running total of the matches the switch has detected for the ACEs in an applied ACL since the ACL’s counters were last reset to 0 (zero)
