permit
To forward packets from a specific source MAC address, configure a filter.
C9000 Series
Syntax
permit {any | mac-source-address [mac-source-address-mask]} [count [byte]]
| [log [interval minutes] [threshold-in-msgs [count]] [monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
● Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the filter’s sequence number.
● Use the no permit {any | mac-source-address mac-source-address-mask}
command.
Parameters
any Enter the keyword any to forward all packets received with a MAC address.
mac-source-
address
Enter a MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-source-
address-mask
(OPTIONAL) Specify which bits in the MAC address must match. If no mask is
specified, a mask of 00:00:00:00:00:00 is applied (in other words, the filter allows
only MAC addresses that match).
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed by the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by the filter.
log (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword log to include ACL messages in the log.
threshold-in
msgs
count
(OPTIONAL) Enter the threshold-in-msgs keyword followed by a value to
indicate the maximum number of ACL logs that can be generated, exceeding which
the generation of ACL logs is terminated with the seq, permit, or deny
commands. The threshold range is from 1 to 100.
interval
minutes
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword interval followed by the time period in minutes
at which ACL logs must be generated. The threshold range is from 1 to 10 minutes.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing the traffic
that you want to monitor and the ACL in which you are creating the rule is applied
to the monitored interface. For more information, refer to the “Flow-based
Monitoring” section in the Port Monitoring chapter of the Dell Networking OS
Configuration Guide.
