Viewing the hit counts for access control entries

Prerequisites

You must be in the manager (#) command context: switch#

Procedure
To view the hit counts, enter:

show access-list hitcounts {ip|ipv6|mac} <ACL-NAME> [interface <ID> [{in|out}]]

  • Use the {ip|ipv6|mac} parameters to limit display of the hit counts from either IPv4, IPv6 or MAC ACLs.

  • Use the [<ACL-NAME>] parameter to limit display of the hit counts from a specific named ACL.

  • Use the [interface <ID>] parameters to display the hit counts for a specific interface.

    Use the [{in|out}] parameters to limit display of the hit counts from inbound (ingress) ACLs or outbound (egress) ACLs.

Displaying the hit counts for ACLs:

switch# show access-list hitcounts ip MY_ACL interface 1/1/1
