mac access-group

Applies rules specified in a MAC access control list (ACL) to traffic entering or exiting an interface.

Syntax

mac access-group ACLname { in | out }
no mac access-group ACLname { in | out }

Parameters

ACLname
Specifies the name of the standard or extended MAC access list.
in
Applies the ACL to incoming switched and routed traffic.
out
Applies the ACL to outgoing routed and (for XGS devices) also to switched traffic.

Modes

Interface-subtype configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

You can apply a maximum of five ACLs to a user interface, as follows:
  • One ingress MAC ACL—if the interface is in switchport mode
  • One egress MAC ACL—if the interface is in switchport mode
  • One ingress IPv4 ACL
  • One egress IPv4 ACL
  • One ingress IPv6 ACL

On XGS devices, you can apply MAC ACLs to port-channels (LAGs) only ingress.

You can apply an ACL to multiple interfaces. And you can apply an ACL twice—ingress and egress—to a given user interface.

To remove an ACL from an interface, enter the no form of this command.

Examples

The following example applies a MAC ACL to filter inbound packets only, on a specified Ethernet interface.
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1 
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mac access-group macacl2 in
The following example removes a MAC ACL from a specified port-channel interface.
device(config)# interface port-channel 62 
device(config-Port-channel-62)# no mac access-group macacl2 in
