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 the filter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the filter processes.
log (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to log the packets.
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.

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 you configure the ACL logging and byte counters simultaneously, byte counters may
display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.

Commands
deny — configures a filter to drop packets.
permit — configures a filter to forward packets.
Extended MAC ACL Commands
When an access-list is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects implicit permit. The
following commands configure Extended MAC ACLs.
The Z9000 supports both Ingress and Egress MAC ACLs.
