NX-OS and ACLMGR Command

By September 3, 2015September 11th, 2020Blog, Hot Technology Topics

Found a great command for viewing and troubleshooting access-list on the Nexus NX-OS command line.

“show run aclmgr”

The “show run aclmgr” run from a NX-OS switch will show you all the access-list defined on the switch it will also show you the interfaces that they are attached to and the direction which they are applied. Seeing these two pieces of information together really helps in troubleshooting Access Control Lists (ACL).

All I would like to see is the addition of hit counters on the ACLs, but I guess you cannot have it all.

Here is an example of the “show run aclmgr” run on a Nexus Switch:
