Configuring Access Control Lists

You can set up ACLs to control traffic at Layer 2, Layer 3, or Layer 4. MAC

ACLs operate on Layer 2. IP ACLs operate on Layers 3 and 4. PowerConnect

M6220, M6348, M8024, and M8024-k switches support both IPv4 and IPv6

ACLs.

What Are MAC ACLs?

MAC ACLs are Layer 2 ACLs. You can configure the rules to inspect the

following fields of a packet:

• Source MAC address
• Source MAC mask
• Destination MAC address
• Destination MAC mask
• VLAN ID
• Class of Service (CoS) (802.1p)
• EtherType

L2 ACLs can apply to one or more interfaces.
Multiple access lists can be applied to a single interface; sequence number

determines the order of execution.
You can assign packets to queues using the assign queue option.

NOTE:

Every ACL is terminated by an implicit deny all rule, which covers any

packet not matching a preceding explicit rule.
