Configuring a MAC ACL
Use the Security > ACL (Configure ACL - Add Rule - MAC) page to configure a MAC ACL based on hardware addresses, packet
format, and Ethernet type.
The following table lists the options on this page:
Perform these steps to add rules to a MAC ACL:
1.

5.
Select the name of an ACL from the Name list.
6.
Specify the action (i.e., Permit or Deny).
7.
Select the address type (Any, Host, or MAC). If you select Host, enter a specific address (e.g., 11-22-33-44-55-66). If you
select MAC, enter a base address and a hexadecimal bit mask for an address range.
8.
Set any other required criteria, such as VID, Ethernet type, or packet format.
Security - ACL Options
Type
Selects the type of ACLs to show in the Name list.
Name
Shows the names of ACLs matching the selected type.
Action
An ACL can contain any combination of permit or deny rules.
Source/Destination Address Type
Use Any to include all possible addresses, Host to indicate a specific MAC address, or MAC to
specify an address range with the Address and Bit Mask fields. (Options: Any, Host, MAC; Default:
Any)
Source/Destination MAC Address
Source or destination MAC address
Source/Destination Bit Mask
Hexadecimal mask for source or destination MAC address.
Packet Format
This attribute includes the following packet types:
• Any - Any Ethernet packet type.
• Untagged-eth2 - Untagged Ethernet II packets.
• Untagged-802.3 - Untagged Ethernet 802.3 packets.
• Tagged-eth2 - Tagged Ethernet II packets.
• Tagged-802.3 - Tagged Ethernet 802.3 packets.
VID
VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
VID Bit Mask
VLAN bit mask (Range: 0-4095)
Ethernet Type
This option can only be used to filter Ethernet II formatted packets. (Range: 0-ffff hex.)
A detailed listing of Ethernet protocol types can be found in RFC 1060. A few of the more common
types include 0800 (IP), 0806 (ARP), 8137 (IPX).
Ethernet Type Bit Mask
Protocol bit mask (Range: 0-ffff hex)
CoS
CoS value (Range: 0-7, where 7 is the highest priority)
CoS Bit Mask
CoS bit mask (Range: 0-7)
Time Range
Name of a time range
