ACL Accounting Upgrade Considerations

ACL accounting will be enabled by default for all filters. In FastIron 08.0.95, the enable-accounting command has been modified to enable accounting.

After upgrade to FastIron 08.0.95, the following changes occur for ACL accounting:

  • IPv4 ACL: If accounting is enabled for an IPv4 ACL before upgrade, then it is enabled for all the filters that belong to that ACL after the upgrade.
  • IPv6 ACL: If accounting is enabled for an IPv6 ACL before upgrade, then it is enabled for all the filters that belong to that ACL after the upgrade.
  • MAC ACL: If accounting is enabled for a MAC filter before upgrade, then it is enabled for any MAC ACL that contains the filter after the upgrade.

The ACL accounting configuration of the MAC filter will migrate seamlessly during the upgrade. The accounting configuration for MAC filters that are not bound to any interface will be lost during upgrade and must be configured again for any resulting MAC ACL.
