Security Tab for Other Switches - MAC Based ACL
Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification actions and rules for specific ingress
ports. ACLs contain multiple classification rules and actions. Each classification rule and action are called
Access Control Element (ACE). ACEs are the filters that determine traffic classifications. MAC based ACLs are
applied to any packet, including non IP. Classification fields are based on L2 fields only.
The MAC Based ACL screen contains the following fields:
ACL Name. This names the ACL and can be up to 32 characters long.
Remove ACL. Checking this box and then clicking the Submit button will delete the ACL.
ACLs are listed in the table below with these headings:
Priority. This displays the priority of the ACL
Destination MAC Address. This is the MAC address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.
To edit a rule in the ACL, click the Edit icon, which resembles a pencil.
To create an ACL:
1. Click the Create ACL button.
2. Enter a name for the ACL in the ACL Name field.
3. Enter a New ACE Priority (1-2147483647). Index of the ACE rule in the ACL field. Check the box to create a
new ACE.
4. Enter a Destination MAC Address. This is the MAC address to which packets are addressed to the ACE.
5. Click the Submit button.
