Defining MAC-based ACLs

MAC-based ACLs are used to filter traffic based on Layer 2 fields. MAC-based ACLs check all frames for a match.

MAC-based ACLs are defined in the MAC Based ACL page. The rules are defined in the MAC Based ACE page.

To define a MAC-based ACL:

  1. Click Access Control > MAC Based ACL. The MAC Based ACL page opens.
  2. This page displays a list of all currently-defined MAC-based ACLs.

  3. Click Add. The Add MAC Based ACL page opens.
  4. Enter the name of the new ACL in the ACL Name field. ACL names are case-sensitive.
  5. Click Apply. The MAC-based ACL is added, and the Running Configuration file is updated.
