Configuring a MAC ACL

Use this page to configure ACLs based on hardware addresses, packet format, and
Ethernet type.
Command Attributes
Action – An ACL can contain any combination of permit or deny rules.
Source/Destination Address Type – Use “Any” to include all possible addresses,
“Host” to indicate a specific MAC address, or “MAC” to specify an address range
with the Address and Bitmask fields. (Options: Any, Host, MAC; Default: Any)
Source/Destination MAC Address – Source or destination MAC address.
Source/Destination Bitmask Hexadecimal mask for source or destination MAC
address.
VID – VLAN ID. (Range: 1-4094)
VID Mask – VLAN bitmask. (Range: 1-4094)
Ethernet Type – This option can only be used to filter Ethernet II formatted
packets. (Range: 600-fff hex.)
A detailed listing of Ethernet protocol types can be found in RFC 1060. A few of the
more common types include 0800 (IP), 0806 (ARP), 8137 (IPX).
Ethernet Type Bitmask – Protocol bitmask. (Range: 600-fff hex.)
Packet Format – This attribute includes the following packet types:
-Any – Any Ethernet packet type.
-Untagged-eth2 – Untagged Ethernet II packets.
-Untagged-802.3 – Untagged Ethernet 802.3 packets.
-Tagged-802.3 – Tagged Ethernet 802.3 packets.
-Tagged-802.3 – Tagged Ethernet 802.3 packets.
Command Usage
Egress MAC ACLs only work for destination-mac-known packets, not for multicast,
broadcast, or destination-mac-unknown packets.
