Configuring MAC Access Control List Configuration Page

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. On this
menu the interfaces to which an MAC ACL applies must be specified, as well as
whether it applies to inbound or outbound traffic. Rules for the MAC ACL are
specified/created using the MAC ACL Rule Configuration menu.

Selection Criteria

MAC ACL - A new MAC Access Control List may be created or the configuration of an existing MAC
ACL can be updated based on selection.

Configurable Data

MAC ACL Name - Specifies MAC ACL Name string which may include alphabetic, numeric, dash,
underscore or space characters only. The name must start with an alphabetic character. This field
displays the name of the currently selected MAC ACL if the ACL has already been created.

Command Buttons

Submit - Send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately.
These changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is performed.

Rename - Renames the currently selected MAC ACL.

Delete - Removes the currently selected MAC ACL from the switch configuration.
