Defining Mac Based Acls - Dell PowerConnect 3424 User Manual

Defining MAC Based ACLs

Access Control Lists (ACL) allow network managers to define classification actions and rules for
specific ingress ports. ACLs contain multiple classification rules and actions. Each classification
rule and action are called Access Control Element (ACE). ACEs are the filters that determine traffic
classifications. MAC based ACLs are applied to any packet, including non IP. Classification fields
are based on L2 fields only.
The MAC Based ACL page allows a MAC- based ACL to be defined. For an explanation of ACLs,
see "Defining MAC Based ACLs."
To open the MAC Based ACL page, select Switch→ Network Security→ MAC based ACL.
