The following table lists the match conditions that can be used with ACL (Access Control List)s, and whether the condition can be used for ingress ACLs only, or with both ingress and egress. The conditions are not case-sensitive; for example, the match condition listed in the table as TCP-flags can also be written as tcp-flags. Within ACL Match Conditions are five different data types used in matching packets.
ACL Match Conditions lists general match conditions that apply to all traffic, unless otherwise noted. ACL Match Condition Data Types the data types and details on using them.
ACL Match Conditions
| Match Conditions | Description | Applicable IP Protocols/ Direction |
|---|---|---|
| ethernet-type number | Ethernet packet type. In place of the numeric value, you can specify one of the following text synonyms (the field values are also listed): ETHER-P-IP (0x0800), ETHER-P-8021Q (0x8100), ETHER-P-IPV6 (0x86DD). | Ethernet/Ingress and Egress |
| [ethernet-source-address | ethernet-destination-address][ mac-address | pre-defined-mac ] { [ mask | / ] mask } |
Match Ethernet source MAC address or Ethernet destination MAC address. The mask is optional, and is in the same format as the MAC address for example: ethernet-source-address 00:01:02:03:01:01 mask ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00 or ethernet-source-address 00:01:02:03:01:01 / ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00 Pre-defined-mac can be any one of the following: cdp-mac, csp-mac (Port Extender Control and Status Protocol), eaps-flush-fdb-mac, eaps-mac, eaps-ver1-mac, eaps-ver2-mac, edp-mac, elrp-dst-mac, elrpsrc-mac, elsm-mac, erps-mac, esrp-mac, lacp-mac, lldp-mac, msrp-mac, pvstp-mac, stp-mac, system-lla-mac and system-mac Example with pre-defined-mac: ethernet-source-address edp-mac mask ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00 or ethernet-source-address edp-mac / ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00 Only those bits of the MAC address whose corresponding bit in the mask is set to 1 will be used as match criteria. Therefore, the preceding example matches 00:01:02:03:xx:xx. If the mask is not supplied, it is assumed to be ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. In other words, all bits of the MAC address are used for matching. |
Ethernet/ Ingress and Egress |
| source-address prefix |
IP source address and mask. Use either all IPv4 or all IPv6 addresses in an ACL. On ExtremeSwitching and Summit series switches, using arbitrary mask arguments is supported. Masks are not restricted to be of a subnet type. Examples of arbitrary IPv4 and IPv6 masks include 10.22.3.4 and 1:0:0:ffff:2:4. The 1s in the mask indicate the corresponding bits of the source-address that should be used as part of the match criteria. |
All IP/Ingress and Egress |
| destination-address prefix |
IP destination address and mask. On ExtremeSwitching and Summit series switches, using arbitrary mask arguments is supported. Masks are not restricted to be of a subnet type. Examples of arbitrary IPv4 and IPv6 masks include 10.22.3.4 and 1:0:0:ffff:2:4. The 1s in the mask indicate the corresponding bits of the destination-address that should be used as part of the match criteria. |

Untagged VMAN ports: installing an ACL matching “cvid” on ingress or egress will match the single VLAN tag on an untagged VMAN port. CEP VMAN ports (with or without VPLS): installing an ACL matching “cvid” on ingress or egress will match the single VLAN tag on a CEP VMAN port (without translation). CEP VMAN ports with cvid translation (with or without translation): installing an ACL matching “cvid” on ingress will match the post-translation cvid. Installing an ACL matching “cvid” on egress will match the post-translation cvid. |

| class-id |
This match condition can be specified on any rule within a policy file or within a list of dynamic access-lists. A rule cannot both match a class-id and specify a class-id as an action.

The range of valid class-id values varies per platform. |

Ingress only |
Note
When you use a configured ACL that contains a match condition with any MAC address, IGMP snooping stops working and IGMP joins are flooded to all ports in a VLAN. When you unconfigure the ACL, IGMP joins stop flooding.Note
An ACL that matches the EAPS ethernet-destination-address (00:e0:2b:00:00:04) or ethernet-source-address (00:e0:2b:00:00:01) match condition with the permit action should not be applied to an EAPS master node on EAPS ring ports. Doing so causes an EAPS PDU loop. For the EAPS master node, you should use the copy-cpu-and-drop action with either of these match conditions.Note
Directed ARP response packets cannot be blocked with ACLs from reaching the CPU and being learned.Along with the data types described in ACL Match Condition Data Types, you can use the operators <, <=, >, and >= to specify match conditions. For example, the match condition, source-port 190, will match packets with a source port greater than 190. Be sure to use a space before and after an operator.
ACL Match Condition Data Types
| Condition Data Type | Description |
|---|---|
| prefix | IP source and destination address prefixes. To specify the address prefix, use the notation prefix/prefix-length. For a host address, prefix-length should be set to 32. |
| number | Numeric value, such as TCP or UDP source and destination port number, IP protocol number. |
| range | A range of numeric values. To specify the numeric range, use the notation: number - number |
| bit-field | Used to match specific bits in an IP packet, such as TCP flags and the fragment flag. |
| mac-address | 6-byte hardware address. |
