Solved: SNMP counters for access lists?

carock · ‎08-14-2010

Are there SNMP counters we can monitor for ACL's?

I have some acl's setup and I'd like to graph how much they are getting used.

CLI for the show access-list <number>

Extended IP access list 185
10 permit udp any any (2427735 matches)

Does anyone know if this is possible via SNMP polls?

Thanks,

Chuck

Not directly. However, you can use the EXPRESSION-MIB together with the Embedded Event Manager to do this. There is a package available

from our Embedded Automation Systems (EASy) site at http://www.cisco.com/go/easy that will allow you to extract the current ACL hit count and place that into the EXPRESSION-MIB so that it can be polled.
