Defining MAC-based
ACL Rules
To define MAC-based ACL Rules:
1 Click Policy > ACL > MAC Based ACL > Rule Setup. The MAC-based ACL
Rule Setup Page opens:
Figure 42 MAC-based ACL Rule Setup Page
The MAC-based ACL Rule Setup Page contains the following fields:
■ ACL Name — Contains a list of the MAC-based ACLs.
■ New Rule Priority — Defines the ACL priority. ACLs are checked on
the first fit basis. The ACL priority defines the ACL order in the ACL
list.
■ Source Address — Indicates the source MAC address.
■ Source Wild Card Mask — Indicates the source MAC Address wild
card mask. Wild cards are used to mask all or part of a source MAC
address. Wild card masks specify which bits are used and which are
ignored. A wild card mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF indicates that no bit is
important. A wildcard of 00.00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all bits
are important. For example, if the source MAC address is
E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2 and the wildcard mask is 00:3B:4A:C2:CA:FF, the
first two bits of the MAC are used, while the last two bits are ignored.
■ Destination Address — Indicates the destination MAC address.
