Parameters
any Enter the keyword any to drop all packets.
host 
mac-
address
Enter the keyword host and then enter a MAC address to drop 
packets with that host address.
mac-source-
address
Enter a MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.
mac-source-
address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must match.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask; therefore, a mask of 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of 
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
mac-destination-
address
Enter the destination MAC address and mask in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn 
format.
mac-destination-
address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must match.
The MAC ACL supports an inverse mask; therefore, a mask of 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff allows entries that do not match and a mask of 
00:00:00:00:00:00 only allows entries that match exactly.
ethertype 
operator
(OPTIONAL) To filter based on protocol type, enter one of the 
following Ethertypes:
• ev2 - is the Ethernet II frame format
• llc - is the IEEE 802.3 frame format
• snap - is the IEEE 802.3 SNAP frame format
count (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword count to count packets processed 
by the filter.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes processed by 
the filter.
log (OPTIONAL, E-Series only) Enter the keyword log to log the packets.
monitor (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword monitor when the rule is describing 
the traffic that you want to monitor and the ACL in which you are 
creating the rule is applied to the monitored interface. For more 
information, refer to the “Flow-based Monitoring” section in the Port 
Monitoring chapter of the
