110, Configuring a MAC ACL Mask | SMC Networks SMC6824M instruction

CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

CLI – This shows that the entries in the mask override the precedence in which the rules are entered into the ACL. In the following example, packets with the source address 10.1.1.1 are dropped because the “deny

10.1.1.1255.255.255.255” rule has the higher precedence according the “mask host any” entry.

Console(config)#access-list ip	standard A2	4-123
Console(config-std-acl)#permit	10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0	4-124
Console(config-std-acl)#deny 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
Console(config-std-acl)#exit	mask-precedence in
Console(config)#access-list ip	mask-precedence in	4-129
Console(config-ip-mask-acl)#mask host any		4-130
Console(config-ip-mask-acl)#mask 255.255.255.0 any
Console(config-ip-mask-acl)#
