Configuring access policies by MAC address
About this task
Configure access-policies by MAC address to allow or deny local MAC addresses on the network
management port after an access policy is activated. If the source MAC does not match a
configured entry, the default action is taken. A log message is generated to record the denial of
access. For connections coming in from a different subnet, the source mac of the last hop is used in
decision making. Configure access-policies by MAC address does not perform MAC or Forwarding
Database (FDB) filtering on data ports.
