Configuration Example for VACLs

The following example shows how to configure a VACL to forward traffic permitted by a MAC ACL named
acl-mac-01 and how to apply the VACL to VLANs 50 through 82:

conf t
vlan access-map acl-mac-map

match mac address acl-mac-01
action forward

vlan filter acl-mac-map vlan-list 50-82
