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

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

In privileged EXEC mode, access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Access hardware configuration mode.
```
device(config)# hardware
```

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.

Access privileged EXEC mode.
```
device(config-hardware)# exit
```
Save the running configuration to the startup configuration file.
```
device# copy running-config startup-config
```
Activate the profile configuration.
```
device# reload system
```

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
                           InLIF - HitCount:    16384
                             InL4 - FwdDrop:    8192
                          OutLIF - HitCount:    16384
                  Egress ACL - VOQ Counters:    8192
