howdy ho,

But make sure you do:

config t
int null 0
no ip unreachables

The ACL drops are, last I checked, rate limit punts.
this is interesting - there is a good article detailing cef and CPU
punting at :-
http://searchnetworkingchannel.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid100_gci1261924,00.html



Reading that and this posting begs the question - if there is a lrage amount of ACL drops and these packets are punted to
cPU and the CPU rate-limit for punted packets has been exceeded, then
possible packets that need to be CPU processed will be dropped in favour
of ACL denied packets - this seems a bit ridiculous.

Any way to get acl dropped packets not to be CPU punted or to use
control-plane policing to discard them before they hit the CPU?

thanx



If it's high CPU at IP Input really need 12.4(20)T and get
a sniffer trace in the punt path to see what traffic it really is.

The 'log' keyword will cause matching packets to not be CEF switched.

nope, log is not present.

Also, if
you're denying a lot of traffic from a certain source, you might want to
just bit-bucket it rather than sending ICMP responses.

you mean - "no ip unreachables"?

You could match the access list in a route map and set the outbound interface
to Null0.
