Interface Commands

Interface Commands

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax of each interface command. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Router Products Command Reference publication.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} address mask
(MAC address)
no access-list access-list-number

Use the access-list global configuration command to establish MAC address access lists. Use the no form of this command to remove a single access list entry.

access-list-
n
umber
Integer from 700 to 799 that you select for the list.
permit Permits the frame.
deny Denies the frame.
address mask 48-bit MAC addresses written in dotted triplet form. The ones bits in the mask argument are the bits to be ignored in address.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} type-code wild-mask
(type code)
no access-list access-list-number

Use the access-list global configuration command to build type-code access lists. Use the no form of this command to remove a single access list entry.

access-list-
n
umber
User-selectable number between 200 and 299 that identifies the list.
permit Permits the frame.
deny Denies the frame.
type-code 16-bit hexadecimal number written with a leading "0x"; for example, 0x6000. You can specify either an Ethernet type code for Ethernet-encapsulated packets, or a DSAP/SSAP pair for 802.3 or 802.5-encapsulated packets. Ethernet type codes are listed in the "Ethernet Type Codes" appendix of the Router Products Command Reference publication.
