Defining MAC-based ACLs
MAC-based ACLs are used to filter traffic based on Layer 2 fields. MAC-based
ACLs check all frames for a match.
MAC-based ACLs are defined in the MAC Based ACL Page. The rules are defined
in the MAC Based ACE Page.
To define a MAC-based ACL:
STEP 1 Click Access Control > MAC Based ACL. The MAC Based ACL Page opens.
This page displays a list of all currently defined MAC-based ACLs.
STEP 2 Click Add. The Add MAC Based ACL Page opens.
STEP 3 Enter the name of the new ACL in the ACL Name field. ACL names are
case-sensitive.
STEP 4 Click Apply. The MAC-based ACL is added, and the switch is updated.
Adding Rules to a MAC-based ACL
To add rules (ACEs) to an ACL:
STEP 1 Click Access Control > MAC Based ACE. The MAC Based ACE Page opens.
STEP 2 Select an ACL, and click Go. The ACEs in the ACL are listed.
STEP 3 Click Add. The Add MAC Based ACE Page opens.
STEP 4 Enter the parameters.
• ACL Name—Displays the name of the ACL to which an ACE is being added.
• Priority—Enter the priority of the ACE. ACEs with higher priority are
processed first. One is the highest priority.
• Action—Select the action taken upon a match. The options are:
- Permit—Forward packets that meet the ACE criteria.
- Deny—Drop packets that meet the ACE criteria.
