Enabling IPv4 ACL rules for logging

  1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
    
  2. Enter the ip access-list command to create or modify an access list.
    device(config)# ip access-list standard ip_acl_1
    
  3. For each ACL rule for which you need logging, include the log keyword.
    device(conf-ipacl-std)# seq 5 permit host 10.20.33.4 log
    
  4. Apply the ACL that you created to the appropriate interface.
  5. (Optional) To display ACL logs, enter the show access-list log buffer command.
    device# show access-list-log buffer

Note

If an ACL with rules that contain the log keyword is applied to the management interface, logs are not recorded for that ACL.
