Creating MAC Filters

Static MAC filtering allows you to associate a MAC address with a VLAN and set of source ports and destination
ports. (The availability of source and destination port filters is subject to platform restrictions). Any packet with
a static MAC address in a specific VLAN is admitted only if the ingress port is included in the set of source ports;
otherwise the packet is dropped. If admitted, the packet is forwarded to all the ports in the destination list.

MAC Filter Configuration

Use the MAC Filter Configuration page to associate a MAC address with a VLAN and one or more source
and/or destination ports. To access the page, click Switching > Filters > MAC Filters in the navigation menu.

MAC Filter Configuration Fields
Description
The MAC address of the filter. The destination MAC address of an Ethernet frame must match this
value to be considered for the filter. When adding or editing a filter, note that you cannot configure
the following MAC addresses in this field:
• 00:00:00:00:00:00
• 01:80:C2:00:00:00 to 01:80:C2:00:00:0F
• 01:80:C2:00:00:20 to 01:80:C2:00:00:21
• FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
The VLAN ID associated with the filter. The VLAN ID is used with the MAC address to fully identify the
frames to filter.
The port(s) included in the inbound filter. If a frame with the MAC address and VLAN ID specified by the
filter arrives on a port in the Source Members list, it is forwarded to a port in the Destination Members list. If
the frame that meets the filter criteria arrives on a port that is not in the Source Members list, it is dropped.
The port(s) included in the outbound filter. A frame with the MAC address and VLAN ID combination
specified in the filter is transmitted only out of ports in the list.
