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.
The monitor option is relevant in the context of the flow-based monitoring feature only. See 
Chapter 44, Port Monitoring.
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 C-Series and S-Series cannot count both packets and bytes, so when you enter the count byte 
options, only bytes are incremented.
Most ACL rules require one entry in the CAM. However, rules with TCP and UDP port operators (gt, 
lt, range) may require more than one entry. The range of ports is configured in the CAM based on bit 
mask boundaries; the space required depends on exactly what ports are included in the range. 
For example, an ACL rule with TCP port range 4000 - 8000 uses 8 entries in the CAM: 
But an ACL rule with TCP port lt 1023 takes only one entry in the CAM:
Version 8.3.1.0
Added 
dscp keyword.
Version 8.2.1.0 Allows ACL control of fragmented packets for IP (Layer 3) ACLs.
Version 8.1.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.6.1.0 Added support for S-Series
Version 7.5.1.0 Added support for C-Series
Version 7.4.1.0
Added support for non-contiguous mask and added the 
monitor option. 
Version 6.5.10
Expanded to include the optional QoS 
order priority for the ACL entry.
Note: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters 
may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
