Static MAC Filtering Commands

The commands in this section describe how to configure static MAC filtering. Static MAC

filtering allows you to configure destination ports for a static multicast MAC filter irrespective

of the platform.

macfilter

This command adds a static MAC filter entry for the MAC address <macaddr> on the VLAN

<vlanid>. A packet with a specific destination MAC address in a specific VLAN is admitted

only if the ingress port is defined in the set of source ports, otherwise the packet is dropped.

On the egress side, a packet that was admitted is sent through all ports that are defined in

the set of destination ports.

The value of the <macaddr> parameter is a 6-byte hexadecimal number in the format of

b1:b2:b3:b4:b5:b6. The following MAC addresses are restricted: 00:00:00:00:00:00,

01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F, 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21, and

FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. The <vlanid> parameter must identify a valid VLAN.

The number of static mac filters supported on the system is different for MAC filters where

source ports are configured and MAC filters where destination ports are configured.

• For unicast MAC address filters and multicast MAC address filters with source port lists,

the maximum number of static MAC filters supported is 20.

• For multicast MAC address filters with destination ports configured, the maximum number

of static filters supported is 256.

For example, for current platforms you can configure the following combinations:

• Unicast MAC and source port (max = 20)

• Multicast MAC and source port (max=20)

• Multicast MAC and destination port (only) (max=256)

• Multicast MAC and source ports and destination ports (max=20)

no macfilter

This command removes all filtering restrictions and the static MAC filter entry for the MAC

address <macaddr> on the VLAN <vlanid>. The <macaddr> parameter must be specified

as a 6-byte hexadecimal number in the format of b1:b2:b3:b4:b5:b6.

The <vlanid> parameter must identify a valid VLAN.
