Add ACE to MAC Based ACL Page
The Add ACE to MAC Based ACL page contains the following fields: 
• ACL Name—Contains a list of user-defined ACLs. 
• New ACE Priority—Enables creating a new ACE and indicates the ACE priority. 
• Source MAC Address—Matches the source MAC address from which packets are 
addressed to the ACE. 
• 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 MAC Address—Matches the destination MAC address to which packets 
are addressed to the ACE.
• Wild Card Mask—Indicates the destination MAC Address wild card mask. Wild cards 
are used to mask all or part of a destination MAC address. Wild card masks specify 
which bits are used and which are ignored. A wild card mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 
indicates that no bit is important. A wild card mask of 00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that 
all bits are important. For example, if the destination 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.
