DVS Series Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches User’s Manual
The steps of configuring an ACL:
1. Create a MAC-based ACL name.
2. Create a rule and assign it to an ACL.
3. Assign an ACL to an interface.
3.10.1 MAC ACL
A MAC ACL consists of a set of rules that are matched sequentially to compare the packet. With a
MAC ACL, you can specify the MAC address of the source device, destination device, or both.
When a packet matchs the criteria with a rule, and the specified rule action (permit or deny) is
applied, then any additional rules will not be checked whether the packet is match or not.

alphabetic, numeric, dash, underscore, or space
characters. It must start with an alphabetic character.

Direction
The direction of packet traffic that is affected by the MAC
ACL. This is a fixed entry that always shows In Bound; only
inbound traffic is subject to the MAC ACL.

Configuration page after you have applied the configuration
changes. (Save ConfigSave Configuration) If you don’t
save the configuration, then the configuration will be cleared
after the switch is rebooted.
