– MAC Address – Matches the source MAC address to which packets are addressed to the
ACE.
– Mask – Indicates the source MAC Address wild card mask. Wildcards are used to mask all or
part of a source MAC Address. Wild card masks specify which bits are used and which bits are
ignored. A wild card mask of ff: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of
00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all the bits are important. For example, if the source MAC
Address E0:00:AB:22:11:33:00 and the wildcard mask is ff:ff:00:ff:ff:ff:ff , the middle two bits
of the MAC Address are used, while the last three bits are ignored.
