Command Line Reference Guide

mac-destination-
address
Enter the destination MAC address and mask in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
format.
mac-destination-
address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must be matched.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask; therefore, a mask of
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
ethertype
operator
(OPTIONAL) To filter based on protocol type, enter one of the
following Ethertypes:
• ev2 - is the Ethernet II frame format
• llc - is the IEEE 802.3 frame format
• snap - is the IEEE 802.3 SNAP frame format
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.
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.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the Flow-based Monitoring
section in the Port Monitoring chapter of the FTOS Configuration
Guide .
Defaults Not configured.

Command History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
When you use the log option, the CP processor logs details about the packets that match.
Depending on how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become
busy as it has to log these packets’ details.
NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters
may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
