Defaults By default, 10 ACL logs are generated if you do not specify the threshold explicitly.
The default frequency at which ACL logs are generated is five minutes. By default,
flow-based monitoring is not enabled.

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, IPv6 ACLs, and 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 the
flow-based flow-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).

of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit, or deny
commands. The threshold range is from 1 to 100.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the
time period in minutes at which ACL logs must be generated.
The time interval range is from of 1 to 10 minutes.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is
describing the traffic that you want to monitor and the ACL
in which you are creating the rule is applied to the monitored
interface.
Added support for flow-based monitoring on the MXL
10/40GbE Switch IO Module platforms.
