Configure Statistics Support for Egress ACL Rate Limit

In SLX9540 and SLX 9640, the egress ACL rate limit feature supports statistics when the COUNTER-PROFILE-5 counter profile is enabled. The MPLS tunnel statistic also uses this counter profile.

About this task

Important

Important

  • This procedure requires a system reload to activate the profile configuration. Perform this procedure during a maintenance window so that the new counter can be activated without interrupting normal network services.
  • The egress ACL rate limiting feature is not supported on SLX 9150.

Procedure

  1. In privileged EXEC mode, access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Access hardware configuration mode.
    device(config)# hardware
  3. Configure the counter profile.
    device(config-hardware)# profile counters counter-profile-5
    The following message is displayed.
    Warning: To activate the new profile config, please run 
    'copy running-config startup-config' followed by 'reload system‘.
    You run these commands in steps 5 and 6.
  4. Access privileged EXEC mode.
    device(config-hardware)# exit
  5. Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
    device# copy running-config startup-config
    
  6. Activate the profile configuration.
    device# reload system
  7. After the system reloads, verify the configuration.
    device# show hardware profile counters counter-profile-5
     switch type: BR-SLX9540-4
    
                       current COUNTERS profile:    COUNTERS-PROFILE-5
