Configure Statistics Support for Egress ACL Rate Limit

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/Extreme 8520.

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
