mac-destination-
address-mask
Specify which bits in the MAC address must be matched.
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 the filter processes.
byte (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword byte to count bytes the filter processes.
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.
NOTE: For more information, refer to the Flow-based Monitoring section in
the Port Monitoring chapter of the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.
no-drop Enter the keywords no-drop to match only the forwarded packets.

Usage
Information
When you use the log option, the CP processor logs details about the packets that match. Depending on
how many packets match the log entry and at what rate, the CP may become busy as it has to log these
packets’ details.
NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, byte counters may
display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with logging instead.
