ACL configuration guidelines and restrictions

Follow these ACL configuration guidelines and restrictions when configuring ACLs:

•The order of the rules in an ACL is critical. The first rule that matches the traffic stops further processing of the frames.

•Standard ACLs and extended ACLs cannot have the same name.

ACL configuration and management

You need to enter either the copy running-configstartup-configcommand or the write memory command to save your configuration changes to Flash so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage.

Creating a standard MAC ACL and adding rules

NOTE

You can use the resequence command to change all the sequence numbers assigned to the rules in a MAC ACL. For detailed information, see “Reordering the sequence numbers in a MAC ACL” on page 104.

To create a standard MAC ACL and add rules, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

1.Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

2.Create a standard MAC ACL and enter ACL configuration mode.

In this example, the name of the standard MAC ACL is “test_01.”

switch(config)#mac access-list standard test_01
