Static MAC Filtering
The commands in this section describe how to configure static MAC filtering. Static MAC
filtering allows you to configure destination ports for a static multicast MAC filter irrespective
of the platform.

macfilter

This command adds a static MAC filter entry for the MAC address <macaddr> on the VLAN
<vlanid>. The value of the <macaddr> parameter is a 6-byte hexadecimal number in the
format of b1:b2:b3:b4:b5:b6. The following MAC addresses are restricted: 00:00:00:00:00:00,
01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F, 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21, and
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The <vlanid> parameter must identify a valid VLAN.
The number of static mac filters supported on the system is different for MAC filters where
source ports are configured and MAC filters where destination ports are configured.
• For unicast MAC address filters and multicast MAC address filters with source port lists,
the maximum number of static MAC filters supported is 20.
• For multicast MAC address filters with destination ports configured, the maximum number
of static filters supported is 256.
For example, for current platforms you can configure the following combinations:
• Unicast MAC and source port (max = 20)
• Multicast MAC and source port (max=20)
• Multicast MAC and destination port (only) (max=256)
• Multicast MAC and source ports and destination ports (max=20)

Term Definition
Session ID An integer value used to identify the session. Its value can be anything between 1 and
the maximum number of mirroring sessions allowed on the platform.
Admin Mode Indicates whether the Port Mirroring feature is enabled or disabled for the session
identified with <session-id>. The possible values are Enabled and Disabled.
Probe Port Probe port (destination port) for the session identified with <session-id>. If probe port
is not set, then this field is blank.
Mirrored Port The port, which is configured as mirrored port (source port) for the session identified with
<session-id>. If no source port is configured for the session, then this field is blank.
Type Direction in which source port configured for port mirroring. Types are tx for transmitted
packets and rx for receiving packets.
