Information About MAC Filtering

With this feature, only the packet whose destination MAC address is the MAC address of the router interface can be forwarded. It supports 32 unicast filter entries per interface. It is disabled by default.


Note


When port-channel is enabled, MAC filtering must be enabled on backhaul interface to take effect.



Note


When both dot1q l2vpn and MAC filtering are enabled on backhaul interface, only 1 unicast filter entry is supported per backhaul interface. The MAC filtering is only supported for non-l2vpn unicast packets.


How to Configure MAC Filtering

This section describes the configuration tasks that are performed to manage MAC filtering. You can use the command-line interface (CLI) commands to complete the configuration.

Configuring MAC Filtering

To configure MAC filtering, follow the steps below:

enable 
configure terminal 
interface tenGigabitEthernet slot/subslot/port 
mac-addr-filter 
end 

Verifying MAC Filtering

To verify the MAC filtering configuration on the backhaul interface, useshow running-config interface command as shown below:

Router# show running-config interface tenGigabitEthernet 4/1/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 73 bytes
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet4/1/0
 no ip address
 mac-addr-filter
end

To verify the MAC filtering status on a specific SUP slot and SUP-PIC bay, useshow platform software iomd command as shown below:

Router# show platform software iomd 4/4 mac-filter
IOMD (Input Output Module Driver) Mac Filter Status
