- Specifies to configure a MAC ACL identified by name. The <name> parameter is a case-
sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 31 characters uniquely identifying the MAC access list.
<name 1-31> - Enter the MAC ACL name used here. This name can be up to 31 characters
long.
rename - Specifies to rename the specified MAC ACL. The <name> parameter is a case-
sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 31 characters uniquely identifying the MAC access
list.
<name 1-31> - Enter the MAC ACL name used here. This name can be up to 31
characters long.
add_rule - Specifies to create a new rule for a MAC ACL.
<value 1-12> - Enter the new rule, for a MAC ACL, value used here. This value must be
between 1 and 12.
type - Specifies what action should be taken if a packet matches the rule's criteria. The
possible values are Permit or Deny.
deny - Specifies to deny matching packets that fall within the rule's criteria.
permit - Specifies to permit matching packets that fall within the rule's criteria.
match_every - Specifies to match every Layer 2 MAC packet.
true - Specifies that every packet is considered to match the selected ACL Rule.
false - Specifies that it is not mandatory for every packet to match the selected ACL Rule.
srcmac - Specifies the source MAC address for this rule, to compare against an Ethernet
frame.
mac - Specifies the source MAC address for this rule, to compare against an Ethernet
frame.
<macaddr> - Enter the Source MAC address, for this rule, here.
mask - Specifies the source MAC address mask for this rule, indicating which bits in the
source MAC to compare against an Ethernet frame.
<macmask> - Enter the source MAC address mask, for this rule, here.
dstmac - Specifies that the destination MAC address for this rule, will be configured.
mac - Specifies the destination MAC address for this rule, to compare against an Ethernet
frame
<macaddr> - Enter the destination MAC address, for this rule, here.
mask - Specifies the destination MAC address mask for this rule, Specifiesing which bits in
the destination MAC to compare against an Ethernet frame.
<macmask> - Enter the destination MAC address mask used here.
bpdu - Specifies the STP BPDU that is a Layer 2 packet and uses the multicast address of
01-80-C2-00-00-00 as the destination MAC and mask of FF-FF-FF-00-00-00.
ethertypekey - Specifies the Ethertype keyword or custom value for this rule and to compare
against an Ethernet frame. The Ethertype may be specified as either a keyword or a four-
digit hexadecimal value from 0x0600-0xFFFF. Each of these keywords translates into its
equivalent Ethertype value(s).
appletalk - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x809B.
arp - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x0806.
ibmsna - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x80D5.
ipv4 - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x0800.
ipv6 - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x86DD.
ipx - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x8037.
mplsmcast - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x8848.
mplsucast - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x8847.
netbios - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x8191.
rarp - Specifies that the Ethertype keyword is 0x8035.
user_value - Specifies a custom user value for the Ethertype keyword.
<hex 0x600-0xffff> - Enter a user custom Ethertype keyword value here. This value
must be between 0x600 and 0xffff.
