MAC Rules
Use the MAC Rules page to define rules for MAC-based ACLs. The access list definition
includes rules that specify whether traffic matching the criteria is forwarded normally or
discarded. A default 'deny all' rule is the last rule of every list.
To display the MAC Rules page, click Security
 ACL, then click the Basic  MAC Rules link.
To configure MAC ACL rules:
1. From the ACL Name field, specify the existing MAC ACL to which the rule will apply. To
set up a new MAC ACL use the MAC ACL page.
2. To add a new rule, enter an ID for the rule, configure the following settings, and click Add.
• Action. Specify what action should be taken if a packet matches the rule's criteria:
• Permit: Forwards packets that meet the ACL criteria.
• Deny: Drops packets that meet the ACL criteria.
• Assign Queue. Specifies the hardware egress queue identifier used to handle all
packets matching this ACL rule. Enter an identifying number from 0–7 in this field.
• Redirect Interface. Specifies the specific egress interface where the matching traffic
stream is forced, bypassing any forwarding decision normally performed by the
device.
• Match Every. Requires a packet to match the criteria of this ACL. Select True or
False from the drop-down menu. Match Every is exclusive to the other filtering rules,
so if Match Every is True, the other rules on the screen are not available.
