Multicast or Broadcast Packets Bridging Example

When filtering specific MAC destination addresses, allow for multicast or broadcast packets that are

required by the bridged network protocols.

Assume you are bridging IP in your network as illustrated in Figure18.

Figure 18 Network Demonstrating Output Address List Filtering

The MAC address of Host A is 0800.0907.0207, and the MAC address of Host B is 0260.8c34.0864. The

following configuration would work as expected, because input addresses work on the source address on

the incoming interface:

access-list 700 permit 0260.8c34.0864 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 deny 0000.0000.0000 FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
