MAC ACL
A MAC ACL consists of a set of rules which are matched sequentially against a packet. When
a packet meets the match criteria of a rule, the specified rule action (Permit/Deny) is taken
and the additional rules are not checked for a match.
There are multiple steps involved in defining a MAC ACL and applying it to the switch:
1.
Use the
MAC ACL
page to create the ACL ID.
2.
Use the
MAC Rules
page to create rules for the ACL.
3.
Use the
MAC Binding Configuration
page to assign the ACL by its ID number to a port.
4.
Optionally, use the
MAC Binding Table
page to view the configurations.
To display the MAC ACL page, click
Security
ACL
. The MAC ACL page is under the
Basic
link.
The MAC ACL table displays the number of ACLs currently configured in the switch and the
maximum number of ACLs that can be configured. The current size is equal to the number of
configured IPv4 ACLs plus the number of configured MAC ACLs.
To configure a MAC ACL:
1.
To add a MAC ACL, specify a name for the MAC ACL in the
Name
field, and click
Add
.
The name string may include alphabetic, numeric, dash, underscore, or space
characters only. The name must start with an alphabetic character.
Each configured ACL displays the following information:
•
Rules
. Displays the number of rules currently configured for the MAC ACL.
•
Direction
. Displays the direction of packet traffic affected by the MAC ACL, which can
be Inbound or blank.
2.
To delete a MAC ACL, select the check box next to the Name field, then click
Delete
.
