NOTE: When ACL logging and byte counters are configured simultaneously, 
byte counters may display an incorrect value. Configure packet counters with 
logging instead.

deny — configures a filter to drop packets.
permit — configures a filter to forward packets.
Extended MAC ACL Commands
When an access-list is created without any rule and then applied to an interface, ACL behavior reflects 
implicit permit. The following commands configure Extended MAC ACLs.
The S4820T supports both Ingress and Egress MAC ACLs.
NOTE: For more information, also refer to the Commands Common to all ACL Types and Common 
MAC Access List Commands sections.
deny
To drop packets that match the filter criteria, configure a filter.
S4820T 
Syntax
deny {any | host mac-address | mac-source-address mac-source-
address-mask} {any | host mac-address | mac-destination-address 
mac-destination-address-mask} [ethertype-operator] [count 
[byte]] [log] [monitor]
To remove this filter, you have two choices:
• Use the no seq sequence-number command if you know the filter’s 
sequence number.
• Use the no deny {any | host mac-address | mac-source-address 
mac-source-address-mask} {any | host mac-address | mac-
destination-address mac-destination-address-mask} command.
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.
