Add ACE to MAC Based ACL Page
The Add ACE to MAC Based ACL page contains the following fields:
• ACL Name—Contains a list of user-defined ACLs.
• New ACE Priority—Enables creating a new ACE and indicates the ACE priority.
• Source MAC Address—Matches the source MAC address from which packets are
addressed to the ACE.
• Wild Card Mask—Indicates the source MAC Address wild card mask. Wild cards are
used to mask all or part of a source MAC address. Wild card masks specify which bits
are used and which are ignored. A wild card mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF indicates that
no bit is important. A wildcard of 00.00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all bits are
important. For example, if the source MAC address is E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2 and the
wildcard mask is 00:3B:4A:C2:CA:FF, the first two bits of the MAC are used, while the
last two bits are ignored.
• Destination MAC Address—Matches the destination MAC address to which packets
are addressed to the ACE.
• Wild Card Mask—Indicates the destination MAC Address wild card mask. Wild cards
are used to mask all or part of a destination MAC address. Wild card masks specify
which bits are used and which are ignored. A wild card mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
indicates that no bit is important. A wild card mask of 00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that
all bits are important. For example, if the destination MAC address is
E0:3B:4A:C2:CA:E2 and the wildcard mask is 00:3B:4A:C2:CA:FF, the first two bits of
the MAC are used, while the last two bits are ignored.
