N7K: yes. and in fact, because the way we actually do it is implement the data plane forwarding in the h/w (ASIC) path with a 'rate limited copy' sent to control-plane for the logging action, you can even do "permit ip any any log" on MPPS worth of traffic and not have it melt the box. if you're asking about N5K then the answer is 'no', at least until the 'log' keyword is added. because control-plane won't see the packet otherwise. cheers, lincoln. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
