Hi,
   Your DoSMONITOR ACL has the same entry. After correcting that next you will
need to have the log-input keyword entry in your ACL to match that suspected
traffic. AFAIK for the SMURF attack I think it was discussed from this
groupstudy that you have an attack with you as the ultimate target and with
your network used as a reflector. You might want to change your ACL to cater to
both SMURF attacks.
