New Hardware Features
Version 5.4 provides support for the following new hardware:
■10-Gigabit Uplink module.
For information about how to install the 10-Gigabit Uplink
module, see Installing the Avaya 10-Gigabit Uplink Module. For
information about how to configure the module, see
Appendix A, "Configuring the Avaya 10-Gigabit Uplink
Module."
New Software Features
Version 5.4 provides support for the following new software
features:
Security Features ■ACL Logging. This feature logs information about a sampling
of packets that match specific rules in the active access
control list. For information on how to use the ACL Logging
feature, see Logging ACL Activity on page 4.
■Ability to select read-only permission or read-write
permission for custom access types. For information on how
to specify these permissions when you create a custom access
type, see Configuring Custom Access Types on page 9.
Performance
Features ■Utilization Monitoring. This feature makes it possible for you
to monitor utilization of the:
—CPU—the number of packets per second that the CPU on
the supervisor module routes (slow path).
—Forwarding engine—the number of packets per second
that the 80-series forwarding engines route. This statistic
includes packets routed by the forwarding engines on 80-
series media modules (FIRE) and on the supervisor
module (FORE).
For more information about the slow path and FIRE and
FORE paths, see “Routing Overview” in Chapter 1,
“Introduction,” of the Avaya P550R, P580, P880, and P882
Multiservice Switch User Guide.
Doc. No. 650-100-701
Part No. 610-0211-094 December 2, 2002 3
For each of these statistics, you can set a high threshold. If
this threshold is exceeded, the switch logs the event in the
event log. For information on how to configure utilization
monitoring, see "Configuring Utilization Monitoring" on
page 17.
■Short-lived protocol filters. This feature helps conserve the
forwarding engine resources of the switch. By using a short-
lived protocol filter, you can set the switch to use the slow
path to route packets of a specific short-lived protocol. And
by using the slow path to route short-lived protocol traffic,
you conserve the resources of the forwarding engines.
For information on how to configure short-lived protocol
filters, see "Configuring Short-Lived IP Protocol Filters" on
page 22.
MIB Support ■The following groups and objects in the RMON2 MIB,
documented in RFC 2021:
—Protocol Directory (protocolDir) Group
• Protocol Directory Last Change
(protocolDirLastChange) object
• Protocol Directory Table (protocolDirTable)
The following protocols are supported in this table:
Ethernet II, SNAP, IP, IPX, TCP, and UDP.
—Address Map (addressMap) Group:
• Address Map Table (addressMapTable)
—Probe Configuration (probeConfig) Group
• Probe Capabilities (probeCapabilities) object
• Network Configuration Table (netConfigTable)
• Network Default Gateway (netDefaultGateway) object
■The following table in the HCRMON MIB (draft-ietf-
rmonmib-hcrmon-10.mib), documented in RFC 3273:
—Ethernet Statistics High Capacity Table
(etherStatsHighCapacityTable)

Logging ACL Activity
Overview
You can now log information about packets that match specific rules
in the active access control list (ACL). Each log entry contains the
following information:
■Source and destination IP address.
■Protocol ID (RFC 1700 defines these ID numbers).
■Time that the match occurred.
■Index number of the access rule that was matched.

■Forwarding information:
—The priority of the packet if the ACL assigns it a priority
and forwards it.
—Forward with no change in priority if the ACL
forwards the packet without changing its priority.
—FILTER if the ACL blocks the packet.
To avoid excessive consumption of the switch resources, ACL
matches are logged for slow path traffic at specific time intervals.
You can set the interval at which the matches are logged. The
default setting is two seconds.
ACL matches are not logged for FIRE path or FORE path traffic. For
more information about the slow path and FIRE and FORE paths,
see “Routing Overview” in Chapter 1, “Introduction,” of the Avaya
P550R, P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide.
This section includes procedures for the following tasks:
■Enabling ACL Logging on page 5
■Setting a Logging Interval on page 7
