Information
The order option is relevant in the context of the Policy QoS feature only. See the “Quality of 
Service” chapter of the FTOS Configuration Guide for more information.
When you use the log option, CP processor logs details about the packets that match. Depending on 
how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these 
packets’ details.
The monitor option is relevant in the context of flow-based monitoring only. See Chapter 44, Port 
Monitoring.
vlan vlan-id  Enter the keyword vlan followed by the VLAN ID to filter traffic 
associated with a specific VLAN. 
Range: 1 to 4094, 1-2094 for ExaScale (can used IDs 1-4094)
To filter all VLAN traffic specify VLAN 1.
source-mac-address 
mac-address-mask 
Enter a MAC address and mask in the nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
For the MAC address mask, specify which bits in the MAC address must 
match. 
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask, therefore, a mask of 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of 
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
count  (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed by 
the filter.
byte  (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the 
filter.
log  (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to have the 
information kept in an ACL log file.
order (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword order to specify the QoS priority for 
the ACL entry.
Range: 0-254 (where 0 is the highest priority and 254 is the lowest; 
lower order numbers have a higher priority)
Default:  If the order keyword is not used, the ACLs have the lowest 
order by default (255).
monitor (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 will be applied to the monitored interface. For details, see the 
section “Flow-based Monitoring” in the Port Monitoring chapter of the 
FTOS Configuration Guide.
