Configuring Network Security with ACLs

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply a MAC access list to control access to

a Layer 2 interface:

configure terminal

interface interface-id

mac access-group {name} {in}

show mac access-group [interface interface-id]

copy running-config startup-config

To remove the specified access group, use the no mac access-group {name} interface configuration

This example shows how to apply MAC access list mac1 to a port to filter packets entering the port:

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/2

Switch(config-if)# mac access-group mac1 in

The mac access-group interface configuration command is only valid when applied to a physical

Layer 2 interface.You cannot use the command on EtherChannel port channels.

After receiving a packet, the switch checks it against the inbound ACL. If the ACL permits it, the switch

continues to process the packet. If the ACL rejects the packet, the switch discards it. When you apply an

undefined ACL to an interface, the switch acts as if the ACL has not been applied and permits all packets.

Remember this behavior if you use undefined ACLs for network security.

Enter global configuration mode.

Identify a specific interface, and enter interface configuration

mode. The interface must be a physical Layer 2 interface (port

Control access to the specified interface by using the MAC access

Port ACLs are supported only in the inbound direction.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Display the MAC access list applied to the interface or all Layer 2

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
