tacacs-server host	Configures a TACACS+ server.

delete certificate

To delete the identity certificate, use the delete certificate command.

delete certificate [force]

Syntax Description

force

(Optional) Forces the deletion of the identity certificate.

Defaults

None

Command Modes

Trustpoint configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
4.1(2)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the delete certificate command to delete the identity certificate obtained from the trustpoint CA when the identity certificate expires or the corresponding key pair is compromised. Applications on the device are left without any identity certificate to use after you delete the last or the only identity certificate present. The Cisco NX-OS software generates an error message if the certificate being deleted is the only certificate present or is the last identity certificate in a chain. You can use the optional force keyword to remove the certificate.

---

Note The trustpoint configuration, certificates, and key pair configurations are persistent only after saving to the startup configuration. Deletions become persistent only after you save the running configuration to the startup configuration.

Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to make the certificate and key pair deletions persistent.

---

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to delete the identity certificate:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# crypto ca trustpoint admin-ca

switch(config-trustpoint)# delete certificate 

This example shows how to force the deletion of the identity certificate:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# crypto ca trustpoint admin-ca

Syntax Description

sequence-number	(Optional) Sequence number of the deny command, which causes the device to insert the command in that numbered position in the access list. Sequence numbers maintain the order of rules within an ACL. A sequence number can be any integer between 1 and 4294967295. By default, the first rule in an ACL has a sequence number of 10. If you do not specify a sequence number, the device adds the rule to the end of the ACL and assigns a sequence number that is 10 greater than the sequence number of the preceding rule. Use the resequence command to reassign sequence numbers to rules.
ip	Introduces the IP address portion of the rule.
any	(Optional) Specifies that any host matches the part of the rule that contains the any keyword. You can use the any to specify the sender IP address, target IP address, sender MAC address, and target MAC address.
host sender-IP	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches ARP packets only when the sender IP address in the packet matches the value of the sender-IP argument. Valid values for the sender-IP argument are IPv4 addresses in dotted-decimal format.
sender-IP sender-IP-mask	(Optional) IPv4 address and mask for the set of IPv4 addresses that the sender IP address in the packet can match. The sender-IP and sender-IP-mask argument must be given in dotted-decimal format. Specifying 255.255.255.255 as the sender-IP-mask argument is the equivalent of using the host keyword.
mac	Introduces the MAC address portion of the rule.
host sender-MAC	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches ARP packets only when the sender MAC address in the packet matches the value of the sender-MAC argument. Valid values for the sender-MAC argument are MAC addresses in dotted-hexadecimal format.
sender-MAC sender-MAC-mask	(Optional) MAC address and mask for the set of MAC addresses that the sender MAC address in the packet can match. The sender-MAC and sender-MAC-mask argument must be given in dotted-hexadecimal format. Specifying ffff.ffff.ffff as the sender-MAC-mask argument is the equivalent of using the host keyword.
log	(Optional) Specifies that the device logs ARP packets that match the rule.
request	(Optional) Specifies that the rule applies only to packets containing ARP request messages. Note If you omit both the request and the response keywords, the rule applies to all ARP messages.
response	(Optional) Specifies that the rule applies only to packets containing ARP response messages. Note If you omit both the request and the response keywords, the rule applies to all ARP messages.
host target-IP	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches ARP packets only when the target IP address in the packet matches the value of the target-IP argument. You can specify host target-IP only when you use the response keyword. Valid values for the target-IP argument are IPv4 addresses in dotted-decimal format.
target-IP target-IP-mask	(Optional) IPv4 address and mask for the set of IPv4 addresses that the target IP address in the packet can match. You can specify target-IP target-IP-mask only when you use the response keyword. The target-IP and target-IP-mask argument must be given in dotted-decimal format. Specifying 255.255.255.255 as the target-IP-mask argument is the equivalent of using the host keyword.
host target-MAC	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches ARP packets only when the target MAC address in the packet matches the value of the target-MAC argument. You can specify host target-MAC only when you use the response keyword. Valid values for the target-MAC argument are MAC addresses in dotted-hexadecimal format.
target-MAC target-MAC-mask	(Optional) MAC address and mask for the set of MAC addresses that the target MAC address in the packet can match. You can specify target-MAC target-MAC-mask only when you use the response keyword. The target-MAC and target-MAC-mask argument must be given in dotted-hexadecimal format. Specifying ffff.ffff.ffff as the target-MAC-mask argument is the equivalent of using the host keyword.

Command History

Release	Modification
4.0(1)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

A newly created ARP ACL contains no rules.

If you do not specify a sequence number, the device assigns to the rule a sequence number that is 10 greater than the last rule in the ACL.

When the device applies an ARP ACL to a packet, it evaluates the packet with every rule in the ACL. The device enforces the first rule that has conditions that are satisfied by the packet. When the conditions of more than one rule are satisfied, the device enforces the rule with the lowest sequence number.

If you do not specify either the response or request keyword, the rule applies to packets that contain any ARP message.

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to enter ARP access list configuration mode for an ARP ACL named arp-acl-01 and add a rule that denies ARP request messages that contain a sender IP address that is within the 10.32.143.0 subnet:

switch# conf t

switch(config)# arp access-list arp-acl-01

switch(config-arp-acl)# deny request ip 10.32.143.0 255.255.255.0 mac any

Syntax Description

sequence-number	(Optional) Sequence number of the deny command, which causes the device to insert the command in that numbered position in the access list. Sequence numbers maintain the order of rules within an ACL. A sequence number can be any integer between 1 and 4294967295. By default, the first rule in an ACL has a sequence number of 10. If you do not specify a sequence number, the device adds the rule to the end of the ACL and assigns a sequence number that is 10 greater than the sequence number of the preceding rule. Use the resequence command to reassign sequence numbers to rules.
protocol	Name or number of the protocol of packets that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Protocol" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
source	Source IPv4 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
destination	Destination IPv4 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
dscp dscp	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only those packets with the specified 6-bit differentiated services value in the DSCP field of the IP header. The dscp argument can be one of the following numbers or keywords: •0-63—The decimal equivalent of the 6 bits of the DSCP field. For example, if you specify 10, the rule matches only those packets that have the following bits in the DSCP field: 001010. •af11—Assured Forwarding (AF) class 1, low drop probability (001010) •af12—AF class 1, medium drop probability (001100) •af13—AF class 1, high drop probability (001110) •af21—AF class 2, low drop probability (010010) •af22—AF class 2, medium drop probability (010100) •af23—AF class 2, high drop probability (010110) •af31—AF class 3, low drop probability (011010) •af32—AF class 3, medium drop probability (011100) •af33—AF class 3, high drop probability (011110) •af41—AF class 4, low drop probability (100010) •af42—AF class 4, medium drop probability (100100) •af43—AF class 4, high drop probability (100110) •cs1—Class-selector (CS) 1, precedence 1 (001000) •cs2—CS2, precedence 2 (010000) •cs3—CS3, precedence 3 (011000) •cs4—CS4, precedence 4 (100000) •cs5—CS5, precedence 5 (101000) •cs6—CS6, precedence 6 (110000) •cs7—CS7, precedence 7 (111000) •default—Default DSCP value (000000) •ef—Expedited Forwarding (101110)

fragments	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only those packets that are noninitial fragments. You cannot specify this keyword in the same rule that you specify Layer 4 options, such as a TCP port number, because the information that the devices requires to evaluate those options is contained only in initial fragments.
log	(Optional) Specifies that the device generates an informational logging message about each packet that matches the rule. The message includes the following information: •Whether the protocol was TCP, UDP, ICMP or a number •Source and destination addresses •Source and destination port numbers, if applicable
time-range time-range-name	(Optional) Specifies the time range that applies to this rule. You can configure a time range by using the time-range command. The time-range-name argument can be up to 64 alphanumeric, case-sensitive characters.

operator port [port]	(Optional; TCP and UDP only) Rule matches only packets that are from a source port or sent to a destination port that satisfies the conditions of the operator and port arguments. Whether these arguments apply to a source port or a destination port depends upon whether you specify them after the source argument or after the destination argument. The port argument can be the name or the number of a TCP or UDP port. Valid numbers are integers from 0 to 65535. For listings of valid port names, see "TCP Port Names" and "UDP Port Names" in the "Usage Guidelines" section. A second port argument is required only when the operator argument is a range. The operator argument must be one of the following keywords: •eq—Matches only if the port in the packet is equal to the port argument. •gt—Matches only if the port in the packet is greater than and not equal to the port argument. •lt—Matches only if the port in the packet is less than and not equal to the port argument. •neq—Matches only if the port in the packet is not equal to the port argument. •range—Requires two port arguments and matches only if the port in the packet is equal to or greater than the first port argument and equal to or less than the second port argument.

Command History

Release	Modification
4.1(2)	Support was added for the following: •The ahp, eigrp, esp, gre, nos, ospf, pcp, and pim protocol keywords. •The packet-length keyword.
4.0(1)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When the device applies an IPv4 ACL to a packet, it evaluates the packet with every rule in the ACL. The device enforces the first rule that has conditions that are satisfied by the packet. When the conditions of more than one rule are satisfied, the device enforces the rule with the lowest sequence number.

This command does not require a license.

Protocol

You can specify the protocol of packets that the rule applies to by the protocol name or the number of the protocol. If you want the rule to apply to all IPv4 traffic, use the ip keyword.

The protocol keyword that you specify affects the additional keywords and arguments that are available. Unless otherwise specified, only the other keywords that apply to all IPv4 protocols are available. Those keywords include the following:

–dscp

–fragments

–log

–packet-length

–precedence

–time-range

Valid protocol numbers are from 0 to 255.

Valid protocol names are the following keywords:

•ahp—Specifies that the rule applies to authentication header protocol (AHP) traffic only.

•eigrp—Specifies that the rule applies to Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) traffic only.

•esp—Specifies that the rule applies to Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) traffic only.

•gre—Specifies that the rule applies to General Routing Encapsulation (GRE) traffic only.

•icmp—Specifies that the rule applies to ICMP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the icmp-message argument is available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument.

•igmp—Specifies that the rule applies to IGMP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the igmp-type argument is available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument.

•ip—Specifies that the rule applies to all IPv4 traffic.

•nos—Specifies that the rule applies to KA9Q NOS-compatible IP-over-IP tunneling traffic only.

•ospf—Specifies that the rule applies to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) traffic only.

•pcp—Specifies that the rule applies to payload compression protocol (PCP) traffic only.

•pim—Specifies that the rule applies to protocol-independent multicast (PIM) traffic only.

•tcp—Specifies that the rule applies to TCP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the flags and operator arguments and the portgroup and established keywords are available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument.

•udp—Specifies that the rule applies to UDP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the operator argument and the portgroup keyword are available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument.

Source and Destination

You can specify the source and destination arguments in one of several ways. In each rule, the method that you use to specify one of these arguments does not affect how you specify the other argument. When you configure a rule, use the following methods to specify the source and destination arguments:

•IP address group object—You can use an IPv4 address group object to specify a source or destination argument. Use the object-group ip address command to create and change IPv4 address group objects. The syntax is as follows:

addrgroup address-group-name

The following example shows how to use an IPv4 address object group named lab-gateway-svrs to specify the destination argument:

switch(config-acl)# deny ip any addrgroup lab-gateway-svrs

•Address and network wildcard—You can use an IPv4 address followed by a network wildcard to specify a host or a network as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:

IPv4-address network-wildcard

The following example shows how to specify the source argument with the IPv4 address and network wildcard for the 192.168.67.0 subnet:

switch(config-acl)# deny tcp 192.168.67.0 0.0.0.255 any

•Address and variable-length subnet mask—You can use an IPv4 address followed by a variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) to specify a host or a network as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:

IPv4-address/prefix-len

The following example shows how to specify the source argument with the IPv4 address and VLSM for the 192.168.67.0 subnet:

switch(config-acl)# deny udp 192.168.67.0/24 any

•Host address—You can use the host keyword and an IPv4 address to specify a host as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:

host IPv4-address

This syntax is equivalent to IPv4-address/32 and IPv4-address 0.0.0.0.

The following example shows how to specify the source argument with the host keyword and the 192.168.67.132 IPv4 address:

switch(config-acl)# deny icmp host 192.168.67.132 any

•Any address—You can use the any keyword to specify that a source or destination is any IPv4 address. For examples of the use of the any keyword, see the examples in this section. Each example shows how to specify a source or destination by using the any keyword.

Syntax Description

sequence-number	(Optional) Sequence number of the deny command, which causes the device to insert the command in that numbered position in the access list. Sequence numbers maintain the order of rules within an ACL. A sequence number can be any integer between 1 and 4294967295. By default, the first rule in an ACL has a sequence number of 10. If you do not specify a sequence number, the device adds the rule to the end of the ACL and assigns a sequence number that is 10 greater than the sequence number of the preceding rule. Use the resequence command to reassign sequence numbers to rules.
protocol	Name or number of the protocol of packets that the rule matches. Valid numbers are from 0 to 255. Valid protocol names are the following keywords: •ahp—Specifies that the rule applies to Authentication Header Protocol (AHP) traffic only. When you use this keyword, only the other keywords and arguments that apply to all IPv6 protocols are available. •esp—Specifies that the rule applies to Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) traffic only. When you use this keyword, only the other keywords and arguments that apply to all IPv6 protocols are available. •icmp—Specifies that the rule applies to ICMP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the icmp-message argument is available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument. •ipv6—Specifies that the rule applies to all IPv6 traffic. When you use this keyword, only the other keywords and arguments that apply to all IPv6 protocols are available. •pcp—Specifies that the rule applies to Payload Compression Protocol (PCP) traffic only. When you use this keyword, only the other keywords and arguments that apply to all IPv6 protocols are available. •sctp—Specifies that the rule applies to Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) traffic only. When you use this keyword, the operator argument and the portgroup keyword are available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument. •tcp—Specifies that the rule applies to TCP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the flags and operator arguments and the portgroup and established keywords are available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument. •udp—Specifies that the rule applies to UDP traffic only. When you use this keyword, the operator argument and the portgroup keyword are available, in addition to the keywords that are available for all valid values of the protocol argument.
source	Source IPv6 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
destination	Destination IPv6 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
dscp dscp	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only packets with the specified 6-bit differentiated services value in the DSCP field of the IPv6 header. The dscp argument can be one of the following numbers or keywords: •0-63—The decimal equivalent of the 6 bits of the DSCP field. For example, if you specify 10, the rule matches only packets that have the following bits in the DSCP field: 001010. •af11—Assured Forwarding (AF) class 1, low drop probability (001010) •af12—AF class 1, medium drop probability (001100) •af13—AF class 1, high drop probability (001110) •af21—AF class 2, low drop probability (010010) •af22—AF class 2, medium drop probability (010100) •af23—AF class 2, high drop probability (010110) •af31—AF class 3, low drop probability (011010) •af32—AF class 3, medium drop probability (011100) •af33—AF class 3, high drop probability (011110) •af41—AF class 4, low drop probability (100010) •af42—AF class 4, medium drop probability (100100) •af43—AF class 4, high drop probability (100110) •cs1—Class-selector (CS) 1, precedence 1 (001000) •cs2—CS2, precedence 2 (010000) •cs3—CS3, precedence 3 (011000) •cs4—CS4, precedence 4 (100000) •cs5—CS5, precedence 5 (101000) •cs6—CS6, precedence 6 (110000) •cs7—CS7, precedence 7 (111000) •default—Default DSCP value (000000) •ef—Expedited Forwarding (101110)

fragments	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches noninitial fragmented packets only. The device considers noninitial fragmented packets to be packets with a fragment extension header that contains a fragment offset that is not equal to zero. You cannot specify this keyword in the same rule that you specify Layer 4 options, such as a TCP port number, because the information that the devices requires to evaluate those options is contained only in initial fragments.
log	(Optional) Specifies that the device generates an informational logging message about each packet that matches the rule. The message includes the following information: •ACL name •Whether the packet was permitted or denied •Whether the protocol was TCP, UDP, ICMP or a number •Source and destination addresses and, if applicable, source and destination port numbers
time-range time-range-name	(Optional) Specifies the time range that applies to this rule. You can configure a time range by using the time-range command.

icmp-type [icmp-code]	(ICMP only: Optional) ICMP message type that the rule matches. Valid values for the icmp-type argument are an integer from 0 to 255. If the ICMP message type supports message codes, you can use the icmp-code argument to specify the code that the rule matches. For more information about ICMP message types and codes, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters.
operator port [port]	(Optional; TCP, UDP, and SCTP only) Rule matches only packets that are from a source port or sent to a destination port that satisfies the conditions of the operator and port arguments. Whether these arguments apply to a source port or a destination port depends upon whether you specify them after the source argument or after the destination argument. The port argument can be the name or the number of a TCP or UDP port. Valid numbers are integers from 0 to 65535. For listings of valid port names, see "TCP Port Names" and "UDP Port Names" in the "Usage Guidelines" section. A second port argument is required only when the operator argument is a range. The operator argument must be one of the following keywords: •eq—Matches only if the port in the packet is equal to the port argument. •gt—Matches only if the port in the packet is greater than and not equal to the port argument. •lt—Matches only if the port in the packet is less than and not equal to the port argument. •neq—Matches only if the port in the packet is not equal to the port argument. •range—Requires two port arguments and matches only if the port in the packet is equal to or greater than the first port argument and equal to or less than the second port argument.
portgroup portgroup	(Optional; TCP, UDP, and SCTP only) Specifies that the rule matches only packets that are from a source port or to a destination port that is a member of the IP port-group object specified by the portgroup argument. Whether the port-group object applies to a source port or a destination port depends upon whether you specify it after the source argument or after the destination argument. Use the object-group ip port command to create and change IP port-group objects.
established	(TCP only; Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only packets that belong to an established TCP connection. The device considers TCP packets with the ACK or RST bits set to belong to an established connection.
flags	(TCP only; Optional) Rule matches only packets that have specific TCP control bit flags set. The value of the flags argument must be one or more of the following keywords: •ack •fin •psh •rst •syn •urg
packet-length operator packet-length [packet-length]	(Optional) Rule matches only packets that have a length in bytes that satisfies the condition specified by the operator and packet-length arguments. Valid values for the packet-length argument are whole numbers from 20 to 9210. The operator argument must be one of the following keywords: •eq—Matches only if the packet length in bytes is equal to the packet-length argument. •gt—Matches only if the packet length in bytes is greater than the packet-length argument. •lt—Matches only if the packet length in bytes is less than the packet-length argument. •neq—Matches only if the packet length in bytes is not equal to the packet-length argument. •range—Requires two packet-length arguments and matches only if the packet length in bytes is equal to or greater than the first packet-length argument and equal to or less than the second packet-length argument.

4.1(2)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

A newly created IPv6 ACL contains no rules.

When the device applies an IPv6 ACL to a packet, it evaluates the packet with every rule in the ACL. The device enforces the first rule whose conditions are satisfied by the packet. When the conditions of more than one rule are satisfied, the device enforces the rule with the lowest sequence number.

This command does not require a license.

Source and Destination

You can specify the source and destination arguments in one of several ways. In each rule, the method you use to specify one of these arguments does not affect how you specify the other. When you configure a rule, use the following methods to specify the source and destination arguments:

•IPv6 address group object—You can use an IPv6 address group object to specify a source or destination argument. Use the object-group ipv6 address command to create and change IPv6 address group objects. The syntax is as follows:

addrgroup address-group-name

The following example shows how to use an IPv6 address object group named lab-svrs-1301 to specify the destination argument:

switch(config-acl)# deny ipv6 any addrgroup lab-svrs-1301

•Address and variable-length subnet mask—You can use an IPv6 address followed by a variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) to specify a host or a network as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:

IPv6-address/prefix-len

The following example shows how to specify the source argument with the IPv6 address and VLSM for the 2001:0db8:85a3:: network:

switch(config-acl)# deny udp 2001:0db8:85a3::/48 any

•Host address—You can use the host keyword and an IPv6 address to specify a host as a source or destination. The syntax is as follows:

host IPv6-address

This syntax is equivalent to IPv6-address/128.

The following example shows how to specify the source argument with the host keyword and the 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 IPv6 address:

switch(config-acl)# deny icmp host 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 any

•Any address—You can use the any keyword to specify that a source or destination is any IPv6 address. For examples of the use of the any keyword, see the examples in this section. Each example shows how to specify a source or destination by using the any keyword.

[sequence-number] deny source destination [protocol] [cos cos-value] [vlan VLAN-ID] [time-range time-range-name]

no deny source destination [protocol] [cos cos-value] [vlan VLAN-ID] [time-range time-range-name]

no sequence-number

Syntax Description

sequence-number	(Optional) Sequence number of the deny command, which causes the device to insert the command in that numbered position in the access list. Sequence numbers maintain the order of rules within an ACL. A sequence number can be any integer between 1 and 4294967295. By default, the first rule in an ACL has a sequence number of 10. If you do not specify a sequence number, the device adds the rule to the end of the ACL and assigns a sequence number that is 10 greater than the sequence number of the preceding rule. Use the resequence command to reassign sequence numbers to rules.
source	Source MAC addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
destination	Destination MAC addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods that you can use to specify this argument, see "Source and Destination" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
protocol	(Optional) Protocol number that the rule matches. Valid protocol numbers are 0x0 to 0xffff. For listings of valid protocol names, see "MAC Protocols" in the "Usage Guidelines" section.
cos cos-value	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only packets with an IEEE 802.1Q header that contains the Class of Service (CoS) value given in the cos-value argument. The cos-value argument can be an integer from 0 to 7.
vlan VLAN-ID	(Optional) Specifies that the rule matches only packets with an IEEE 802.1Q header that contains the VLAN ID given. The VLAN-ID argument can be an integer from 1 to 4094.
time-range time-range-name	(Optional) Specifies the time range that applies to this rule. You can configure a time range by using the time-range command.

Defaults

A newly created MAC ACL contains no rules.

If you do not specify a sequence number, the device assigns the rule a sequence number that is 10 greater than the last rule in the ACL.

Usage Guidelines

When the device applies a MAC ACL to a packet, it evaluates the packet with every rule in the ACL. The device enforces the first rule that has conditions that are satisfied by the packet. When the conditions of more than one rule are satisfied, the device enforces the rule with the lowest sequence number.

This command does not require a license.

Source and Destination

You can specify the source and destination arguments in one of two ways. In each rule, the method that you use to specify one of these arguments does not affect how you specify the other argument. When you configure a rule, use the following methods to specify the source and destination arguments:

•Address and mask—You can use a MAC address followed by a mask to specify a single address or a group of addresses. The syntax is as follows:

MAC-address MAC-mask

The following example specifies the source argument with the MAC address 00c0.4f03.0a72:

switch(config-acl)# deny 00c0.4f03.0a72 0000.0000.0000 any

The following example specifies the destination argument with a MAC address for all hosts with a MAC vendor code of 00603e:

switch(config-acl)# deny any 0060.3e00.0000 0000.0000.0000

•Any address—You can use the any keyword to specify that a source or destination is any MAC address. For examples of the use of the any keyword, see the examples in this section. Each of the examples shows how to specify a source or destination by using the any keyword.

MAC Protocols

The protocol argument can be the MAC protocol number or a keyword. The protocol number is a four-byte hexadecimal number prefixed with 0x. Valid protocol numbers are from 0x0 to 0xffff. Valid keywords are the following:

•aarp—Appletalk ARP (0x80f3)

•appletalk—Appletalk (0x809b)

•decnet-iv—DECnet Phase IV (0x6003)

•diagnostic—DEC Diagnostic Protocol (0x6005)

•etype-6000—EtherType 0x6000 (0x6000)

•etype-8042—EtherType 0x8042 (0x8042)

Only the physical interface can be used for the destination. Port-channel interfaces and supervisor in-band ports are not supported.

Port channels and supervisor in-band ports are not supported as a destination for ACL capture.

ACL capture session destination interfaces do not support ingress forwarding and ingress MAC learning. If a destination interface is configured with these options, the monitor keeps the ACL capture session down. Use the show monitor session all command to see if ingress forwarding and MAC learning are enabled.

---

Note You can use the no switchport monitor command to disable ingress forwarding and MAC learning on the interface.

---

The source port of the packet and the ACL capture destination port cannot be part of the same ASIC. If both ports belong to the same ASIC, a message appears when you configure the destination ports for ACL capture, and the packet is not captured.

You can enter the destination interface command multiple times to add multiple destinations.

This command does not require a license.

The 802.1X server timeout for an interface is the number of seconds that the Cisco NX-OS device waits before retransmitting a packet to the authentication server. This value overrides the global reauthentication period timeout.

You must use the feature dot1x command before you configure 802.1X.

---

Note You should change the default value only to adjust for unusual circumstances, such as unreliable links or specific behavioral problems with certain supplicants and authentication servers.

---

This command does not require a license.

Examples

This example shows how to configure the global 802.1X server timeout interval:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1

switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout server-timeout 45

This example shows how to revert to the default global 802.1X server timeout interval:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# interface ethernet 2/1

switch(config-if)# dot1x timeout server-timeout 45
