Configuring L2 Rules

Configure policy rules that are associated with a role from the Role Configuration page. To configure an OSI Layer 2 rule, which filters on MAC Address:

  1. Select the L2 drop-down and select New or select the rule to edit and existing rule.
  2. Configure the following parameters:
    Name
    Name the rule.
    Action
    Determines access control action for the rule. Valid values are:
    • None - No role defined
    • Allow - Packets contained to role's default action's VLAN/topology
    • Deny - Any packet not matching a rule in the policy is dropped.
    • Containment VLAN - A topology to use when a network is created using a role that does not specify a topology. (Not applicable for L7 Application Rules.)
    COS
    Determines the importance of a frame while it is forwarded through the network relative to other packets. The CoS defines actions to be taken when rate limits are exceeded.
    MAC Address Type
    Indicates if the MAC Address is user defined or any MAC Address. User Defined enables the MAC Address field for user input.
    MAC Address
    Media access control address. Sometimes known as the hardware address, is the unique physical address of each network interface card on each device. Specify the MAC address of the wireless client.
  3. Select Save.
    All rule types are applied to the policy in top to bottom order. The policy is installed on the enforced APs.
