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 the filter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the filter processes.
Defaults Not configured.

address
Enter the keyword host and then enter a MAC address to filter packets with that
host address.
mac-source-
address
Enter a MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
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.
