The following information describes MAC filters:
If a MAC filter policy is created with an entry and entry action specified but the packet matching criteria is not defined, then all packets processed through this filter policy entry will pass and take the action specified. There are no default parameters defined for matching criteria.
MAC filters cannot be applied to network interfaces. On the 7210 SAS-Mxp, they can be applied on an R-VPLS service with IES or VPRN. See Applying filter policies and the 7210 SAS-Mxp, S, Sx, T Services Guide for more information.
Some of the MAC match criteria fields are exclusive to each other, based on the type of Ethernet frame. Use the following table to determine the exclusivity of fields. On the 7210 SAS, the default frame-format is ‟EthernetII”.
