For example, if the source MAC address is E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2 and the
wildcard mask is 00:00:00:00:00:FF, the first five bytes of the MAC are
used, while the last byte is ignored. For the source MAC address
E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2, this wildcard mask matches all MAC addresses in
the range E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:00 to E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:FF.
■
Destination MAC Address
— Matches the destination MAC address
to which packets are addressed to the rule.
■
Destination Mask
— Defines the destination MAC Address wildcard
mask. Wildcards are used to mask all or part of a destination MAC
address. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which are
ignored. A wildcard mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF indicates that no bit is
important. A wildcard 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 00:00:00:00:00:FF, the
first five bytes of the MAC are used, while the last byte is ignored. For
the destination MAC address E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2, this wildcard mask
matches all MAC addresses in the range E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:00 to
E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:FF.
■
VLAN ID
— Matches the packet's VLAN ID to the rule. The possible
field values are 1 to 4093.
■
CoS
— Classifies traffic based on the CoS tag value.
■
CoS Mask
— Defines the CoS mask used to classify network traffic.
■
Ethertype
— Defines an identifier that differentiates between various
types of protocols.
■
Action
— Selects the ACL forwarding action. In addition, the port can
be shut down, a trap can be sent to the network administrator, or
packet is assigned rate limiting restrictions for forwarding. The options
are as follows:
■
Permit
— Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.
■
Deny
— Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.
■
Shutdown
— Drops packet that meets the ACL criteria, and
disables the port to which the packet was addressed. Ports are
reactivated from the
Port Administration Setup Page
