Configuring VACLs
Statistics
The switch can maintain global statistics for each rule in a VACL. If a VACL is applied to multiple VLANs,
the maintained rule statistics are the sum of packet matches (hits) on all the interfaces on which that VACL
is applied.
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch does not support interface-level VACL statistics.
Note
For each VLAN access map that you configure, you can specify whether the switch maintains statistics for
that VACL. This allows you to turn VACL statistics on or off as needed to monitor traffic filtered by a VACL
or to help troubleshoot VLAN access-map configuration.
Configuring VACLs
Creating or Changing a VACL
You can create or change a VACL. Creating a VACL includes creating an access map that associates an IP
ACL or MAC ACL with an action to be applied to the matching traffic.
To create or change a VACL, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# vlan access-map map-name
3. switch(config-access-map)# match ip address ip-access-list
4. switch(config-access-map)# match mac address mac-access-list
5. switch(config-access-map)# action {drop | forward}
6. (Optional) switch(config-access-map)# [no] statistics
7. (Optional) switch(config-access-map)# show running-config
8. (Optional) switch(config-access-map)# copy running-config startup-config
