MAC ACL
A MAC ACL consists of a set of rules which are matched sequentially against a packet. When a packet meets the match criteria of a rule, the specified rule action (Permit/Deny) is taken and the additional rules are not checked for a match.
There are multiple steps involved in defining a MAC ACL and applying it to the switch:
1.Create the ACL ID. See MAC ACL.
2.Create a MAC rule. See MAC Rules.
3.Create a MAC binding configuration. See MAC Binding Configuration.
4.Optionally, create a MAC binding table. See MAC Binding Table.
To add a MAC ACL:
1.Select Security > Basic > MAC ACL.
The MAC ACL table displays the number of ACLs currently configured in the switch and the maximum number of ACLs that can be configured. The current size is equal to the number of configured IPv4 ACLs plus the number of configured MAC ACLs.
2.Specify a name for the MAC ACL in the Name field.
The name string can include alphabetic, numeric, dash, underscore, or space characters only. The name must start with an alphabetic character.
3.Click Add.
Each configured ACL displays the following information:
•Rules. Displays the number of rules currently configured for the MAC ACL.
•Direction. Displays the direction of packet traffic affected by the MAC ACL, which can be Inbound or blank.
To change the name of a MAC ACL:
1. Select the check box next to the Name field for the ACL to modify.
2. Under Name, specify the new name.
