Abstract
Systems and methods of reporting access violations in a network device are disclosed. One such method comprises setting a forwarding index field in a specific entry of an access control list (ACL) to reference a specific forwarding table entry (FTE). The specific FTE is the only FTE associated with reporting access violations. The method further comprises setting a next destination field in the specific FTE to indicate a copy-to-processor behavior. The method further comprises setting the next destination field in the specific FTE to indicate a drop behavior. The setting of the next destination field is responsive to a timeout on a timer associated with reporting access violations.
