mac access-group
To use a MAC access control list (ACL) to control the reception of incoming traffic on a Gigabit Ethernet interface, an 802.1Q VLAN subinterface, an 802.1Q-in-Q stacked VLAN subinterface, use the macaccess-groupcommand in interface or subinterface configuration mode. To remove a MAC ACL, use the no form of this command.
Usage Guidelines
MAC ACLs are applied on incoming traffic on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and VLAN subinterfaces. After a networking device receives a packet, the Cisco IOS software checks the source MAC address of the Gigabit Ethernet, 802.1Q VLAN, or 802.1Q-in-Q packet against the access list. If the MAC access list permits the address, the software continues to process the packet. If the access list denies the address, the software discards the packet and returns an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) host unreachable message.
If the specified MAC ACL does not exist on the interface or subinterface, all packets are passed.
On Catalyst 6500 series switches, this command is supported on Layer 2 ports only.
NoteThe macaccess-groupcommand is supported on a VLAN subinterface only if a VLAN is already configured on the subinterface.
Examples
The following example applies MAC ACL 101 on incoming traffic received on Gigabit Ethernet interface 0:
Router> enable Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0 Router(config-if)# mac access-group 101 inRelated Commands
Command
Description
access-list (MAC)
Defines a MAC ACL.
clear mac access-list counters
Clears the counters of a MAC ACL.
ip access-group
Configures an IP access list to be used for packets transmitted from the asynchronous host.
show access-group mode interface
Displays the ACL configuration on a Layer 2 interface.
show mac access-list

mac access-list extended
To create an extended MAC access control list (ACL) and define its access control entries (ACEs), use the macaccess-listextended command in global configuration mode. To remove MAC ACLs, use the no form of this command.
Command History
For the Cisco 7600 series platform when ES20 or ES40 line cards are used, only the {permit | deny} {src-macmask | any} {dest-macmask | any} part of the command syntax applies. If an extended MAC Access Control List is created using the [protocol [vlan vlan] [cosvalue]] options, these options are ignored.
When you enter the ACL name, follow these naming conventions:
- Maximum of 31 characters and may include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, the dash character (-), the underscore character (_), and the period character (.)
- Must start with an alpha character and must be unique across all ACLs of all types
- Case sensitive
- Cannot be a number
- Must not be a keyword; keywords to avoid are all, default-action, map, help, and editbuffer
You can configure named ACLs that filter Internet Packet Exchange (IPX), DECnet, AppleTalk, Virtual Integrated Network Service (VINES), or Xerox Network Services (XNS) traffic based on MAC addresses (IPX filtering with a MAC ACL is supported only with a Policy Feature Card 3 [PFC3]).
In systems that are configured with PFC3, if you want to classify all IPX traffic by using a MAC-access list that matches on EtherType 0x8137, use the ipx-arpa or ipx-non-arpa protocol.
Once you enter the macaccess-listextendedname command, use the following subset to create or delete entries in a MAC ACL:
no permit deny src-mac mask any dest-mac mask any protocol vlan vlan cos value
The vlanvlan and cosvalue keywords and arguments are supported in PFC3BXL or PFC3B mode with Release 12.2(17b)SXA and later releases.
The vlanvlan and cosvalue keywords and arguments are not supported on the MAC VLAN access control lists (VACLs).
The table below describes the syntax of the macaccess-listextended command.
Table 1 mac access-list extended Command Syntax Syntax
Description
no
(Optional) Deletes a statement from an access list.

- vines-ip --EtherType: VINES IP
- vtp --VTP packets
- xns-idp --EtherType: XNS IDP
When you enter the src-macmask or dest-macmaskvalue, note these guidelines and restrictions:
- Enter MAC addresses as three 4-byte values in dotted hexadecimal format; for example, 0030.9629.9f84.
- Enter MAC-address masks as three 4-byte values in dotted hexadecimal format. Use 1 bit as a wildcard. For example, to match an address exactly, use 0000.0000.0000 (can be entered as 0.0.0).
- For the optional protocol, you can enter either the EtherType or the keyword.
- Entries without a protocol match any protocol.
- Access lists entries are scanned in the order that you enter them. The first matching entry is used. To improve performance, place the most commonly used entries near the beginning of the access list.
- An implicit denyanyany entry exists at the end of an access list unless you include an explicit permitanyany entry at the end of the list.
- All new entries to an existing list are placed at the end of the list. You cannot add entries to the middle of a list.
Malformed, invalid, deliberately corrupt EtherType 0x800 IP frames are not recognized as IP traffic and are not filtered by IP ACLs.
An ACE created with the macaccess-listextended command with the ip keyword filters malformed, invalid, deliberately corrupt EtherType 0x800 IP frames only; it does not filter any other IP traffic.
Examples
The following example shows how to create a MAC ACL named mac_layer that denies traffic from 0000.4700.0001, which is going to 0000.4700.0009, and permits all other traffic:
Router(config)# mac access-list extended mac_layer Router(config-ext-macl)# deny 0000.4700.0001 0.0.0 0000.4700.0009 0.0.0 dsm Router(config-ext-macl)# permit any anymac-address-table aging-time
To configure the maximum aging time for entries in the Layer 2 table, use the mac-address-tableaging-time command in global configuration mode. To reset maximum aging time to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

12.2(33)SRA
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
Usage Guidelines
MAC limiting can be enabled on either a per-interface basis (that is, by specifying an interface) or on a per-VLAN basis (that is, by specifying a VLAN). However, MAC limiting must first be enabled for the router (a higher level) in global configuration mode (config).
General Points About MAC Limiting
Note the following points about enabling MAC limiting:
- The maximum number of MAC entries is determined on a per-VLAN and per-EARL basis.
- If you do not specify a maximum number, an action, or a notification, the default settings are used.
- If you enable per-VLAN MAC limiting, MAC limiting is enabled on the specified VLAN only.
- The flood keyword is supported on VLAN interfaces only.
- The flood action occurs only if the limit action is configured and is violated.
- In the shutdown state, the VLAN remains in the blocked state until you reenable it through the command syntax.
Syntax for Enabling per-VLAN MAC Limiting
The following is sample syntax that can be used to enable per-VLAN MAC limiting. Both commands must be used to properly enable per-VLAN MAC limiting.
mac-address-table limit
NoteThis command enables the MAC limiting functionality for the router.
mac-address-table limit [vlanvlan] [maximumnum] [action {warning | limit | shutdown}] [ flood ]
NoteThis command sets the specific limit and any optional actions to be imposed at the VLAN level.
Syntax for Enabling Per-Interface MAC Limiting
The following is sample syntax that can be used to enable per-interface MAC limiting. Both commands must be used to properly enable per-interface MAC limiting.
mac-address-table limit
NoteThis command enables the MAC limiting functionality for the router.
mac-address-table limit [interfacetypemod/port] [maximumnum] [action {warning | limit | shutdown}] [ flood ]
NoteThis command sets the specific limit and any optional actions to be imposed at the interface level.
Examples
This example shows how to enable per-VLAN MAC limiting. The first instance of themac-address-tablelimit command enables MAC limiting. The second instance of the command sets the limit and any optional actions to be imposed at the VLAN level.
Router# enable Router# configure terminal Router(config)# mac-address-table limit Router(config)# mac-address-table limit vlan 501 maximum 50 action shutdown Router(config)# endThis example shows how to enable per-interface MAC limiting. The first instance of themac-address-tablelimit command enables MAC limiting. The second instance of the command sets the limit and any optional actions to be imposed at the interface level.
Router# enable Router# configure terminal Router(config)# mac-address-table limit Router(config)# mac-address-table limit fastethernet0/0 maximum 50 action shutdown Router(config)# endmac-address-table notification change
To send a notification of the dynamic changes to the MAC address table, use the mac-address-tablenotificationchangecommand in global configuration mode. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.
mac-address-table notification change [ history size | interval seconds ]
no mac-address-table notification change
mac-address-table notification mac-move
To enable MAC-move notification, use the mac-address-tablenotificationmac-move command in global configuration mode. To disable MAC-move notification, use the no form of this command.
mac-address-table notification mac-move [ counter [syslog] ]
no mac-address-table notification mac-move [ counter [syslog] ]
Usage Guidelines
MAC-move notification generates a syslog message whenever a MAC address or host moves between different switch ports.
MAC-move notification does not generate a notification when a new MAC address is added to the content-addressable memory (CAM) or when a MAC address is removed from the CAM.
MAC-move notification is supported on switch ports only.
The MAC-move counter notification generates a syslog message when the number of MAC moves in a VLAN exceeds the maximum limit. The maximum limit is 1000 MAC moves.
The MAC-move counter syslog notification counts the number of times a MAC has moved within a VLAN and the number of these instances that have occurred in the system.
Examples
This example shows how to enable MAC-move notification:
Router(config)# mac-address-table notification mac-moveThis example shows how to disable MAC-move notification:
Router(config)# no mac-address-table notification mac-moveThis example shows how to enable MAC-move counter syslog notification:

Usage Guidelines
Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers
The specified output interface cannot be a switched virtual interface (SVI).
Theno form of this command does not remove system MAC addresses.
When you remove a MAC address, entering the interface type slot/port argument is optional. For unicast entries, the entry is removed automatically. For multicast entries, if you do not specify an interface, the entire entry is removed. You can specify the selected ports to be removed by specifying the interface.
Catalyst Switches
The specified output interface cannot be an SVI.
As a good practice, configure static MAC addresses on Layer 2 EtherChannels only and not on Layer 2 physical member ports of an EtherChannel. This practice does not apply to Layer 3 EtherChannels and its members.
Use the no form of this command to do the following:
- Remove entries that are profiled by the combination of specified entry information.
- Re-enable IGMP snooping for the specified address.
The dlci dlci keyword and argument are valid only if Frame Relay encapsulation has been enabled on the specified interface.
The pvc vpi/vci keyword and arguments are supported on ATM interfaces only. When specifying the pvcvpi/vci argument and keyword pair, you must specify both a VPI and a VCI, separated by a slash.
When you install a static MAC address, it is associated with a port. If the same MAC address is seen on a different port, the entry is updated with the new port if you enter the auto-learn keyword.
The specified output interface must be a Layer 2 Interface Descriptor Block (IDB) and not an SVI.
You can enter up to 15 interfaces per command entered, and you can enter more interfaces by repeating the command.
If you do not enter a protocol type, an entry is automatically created for each of the protocol types.
Entering the no form of this command does not remove system MAC addresses.
When you remove a MAC address, entering interface type number is optional. For unicast entries, the protocol entry is removed automatically. For multicast entries, if you do not specify an interface, the entire protocol entry is removed. You can specify the selected ports to be removed by specifying the interface.
The mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id interface type numberdisable-snooping command disables snooping on the specified static MAC address/VLAN pair only. To enable snooping, first delete the MAC address using the no form of the command, and then reinstall the MAC address using the mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id interface type number command, without the disable-snooping keyword.
The mac-address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id drop command cannot be applied to a multicast MAC address.
NoteBoth the unicast MAC addresses and the multicast MAC addresses allow only one WAN interface.
NoteYou cannot configure the same static MAC address on multiple interface. If you try to configure an existing static MAC address on another interface, the mac-address-table static command overwrites the static MAC address with a new MAC address on this interface.
Specifying a MAC Address for DLCI or PVC Circuits
To support multipoint bridging and other features, the behavior of the following command has changed for ATM and Frame Relay interfaces in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases. In previous releases, you needed to specify a VLAN ID and an interface only.
Device(config)# mac-address-table static 000C.0203.0405 vlan 101 interface ATM6/1In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, you must specify the dlci option for Frame Relay interfaces, or the pvc option for ATM interfaces, as shown in the following example:
Device(config)# mac-address-table static 000C.0203.0405 vlan 101 interface ATM6/1 pvc6/101
NoteIf you omit the dlci option for Frame Relay interfaces, the MAC address is mapped to the first DLCI circuit that is configured for the specified VLAN on that interface. Similarly, if you omit the pvc option for ATM interfaces, the MAC address is mapped to the first PVC that is configured for the specified VLAN on that interface. To ensure that the MAC address is configured correctly, we recommend that you always use the dlci and pvc keywords on the appropriate interfaces.
Examples
The following example shows how to add static entries to the MAC address table:
Device(config)# mac-address-table static 0050.3e8d.6400 vlan 100 interface fastethernet5/7The following example shows how to configure a static MAC address with IGMP snooping disabled for a specified address:
Device(config)# mac-address-table static 0050.3e8d.6400 vlan 100 interface fastethernet5/7 disable-snoopingThe following example shows how to add static entries to the MAC address table for an ATM PVC circuit and for a Frame Relay DLCI circuit:
Device(config)# mac-address-table static 0C01.0203.0405 vlan 101 interface ATM6/1 pvc 6/101 Device(config)# mac-address-table static 0C01.0203.0406 vlan 202 interface POS4/2 dlci 200mac-address-table secure

hw -address
MAC address that is added to the table.
interface
Port to which packets destined for hw-address are forwarded.
fa
Specifies FastEthernet.
gi
Specifies Gigabit Ethernet.
slot
(Optional) The slot (slot 1 or slot 2) to which to add dynamic addresses.
port
(Optional) Port interface number. The ranges are based on type of Ethernet switch network module used:
atm slot / port
(Optional) Add secure addresses to the ATM module in slot 1 or 2. The port is always 0 for an ATM interface.
vlan vlan -id
Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers
The interface and vlan parameters together specify a destination to which packets destined for hw-address are forwarded.
The vlan keyword is optional if the port is a static-access VLAN port. In this case, the VLAN assigned to the port is assumed to be that of the port associated with the MAC address. This keyword is required for multi-VLAN and trunk ports.
The value of vlan-id is the ID of the VLAN to which secure entries are added. Valid IDs are 1 to 1005; do not enter leading zeroes.

Usage Guidelines
Catalyst Switches
Secure addresses can be assigned to only one port at a time. Therefore, if a secure address table entry for the specified MAC address and VLAN already exists on another port, it is removed from that port and assigned to the specified one.
Dynamic-access ports cannot be configured with secure addresses.

mls switching unicast
To enable the hardware switching of the unicast traffic for an interface, use the mlsswitchingunicast command in interface configuration mode. To disable the hardware switching of the unicast traffic for an interface, use the no form of this command.
Usage Guidelines
This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.
mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway
To enable a Gigabit Ethernet WAN interface to act as a gateway for 802.1Q in 802.1Q (Q-in-Q) VLAN translation, use the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand. To disable the Q-in-Q VLAN translation on the interface, use the no form of this command.
Command Default
A Gigabit Ethernet WAN interface does not act as a gateway for 802.1Q in 802.1Q (Q-in-Q) VLAN translation.
Usage Guidelines
This command is supported on the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN interfaces on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with an Optical Services Module (OSM)-2+4GE-WAN+ OSM module only.
OSMs are not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 32
802.1Q provides a trunking option that tags packets with two VLAN tags to allow multiple VLANs to be trunked together across an intermediate network. This use of a double-tagged tunnel is also referred to as Q-in-Q tunneling.
The modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand enhances Q-in-Q tunneling by tagging packets with two VLAN tags to allow multiple VLANs to be trunked together across an intermediate network. This use of double-tagged tunnels performs the following functions:
- Switches packets that are tagged with two 802.1Q VLAN tags to a destination service based on the combination of VLAN tags.
- Supports traffic shaping based on the VLAN tags.
- Copies the 802.1P prioritization bits (P bits) from the inner (customer) VLAN tag to the outer (service provider) VLAN tag.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, you can also combine multiple GE-WAN interfaces into a virtual port-channel interface to enable Q-in-Q link bundling. Combining the interfaces not only simplifies the configuration, but allows the GE-WAN OSM to load balance the provider edge (PE) VLANs among the physical interfaces that are members of the bundle. Also, if one interface member of the link bundle goes down, its PE VLANs are automatically reallocated to the other members of the bundle.
NoteYou must remove all IP addresses that have been configured on the interface before using the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand.
After configuring the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand, use the bridge-domain(subinterfaceconfiguration)command to configure the VLAN mapping to be used on each subinterface.
Caution
Using the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand on an interface automatically deletes all the subinterfaces that might be configured on the interface. It also releases any internal VLANs that might have been previously used on the interface and its subinterfaces, allowing them to be reused for Q-in-Q translation. The same situation occurs when using the no form of the command, which also deletes all subinterfaces and releases any VLANs that are currently being used by the interface and subinterface. We recommend that you save the interface configuration before entering the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand.
NotePort-channel interface counters (as shown by the showcountersinterfaceport-channel and showinterfaceport-channelcounters commands) are not supported for channel groups that are using GE-WAN interfaces for Q-in-Q link bundling. The showinterfaceport-channel{number | number.subif } command (without the counters keyword) is supported, however.
Tip
The mlsqostrust command has no effect on a GE-WAN interface or port-channel group that has been configured with the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand. These interfaces and port channels always trust the VLAN class of service (CoS) bits in this configuration.
Examples
This example shows a typical configuration for the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface GE-WAN 4/1 Router(config-if)# mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway Router(config-if)#This example shows the system message that appears when you try to configure the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand without first removing the IP address configuration:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface GE-WAN 3/0 Router(config-if)# mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway % interface GE-WAN3/0 has IP address 192.168.100.101 configured. Please remove the IP address before configuring 'mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway' on this interface. Router(config-if)# no ip address 192.168.100.101 255.255.255 Router(config-if)# mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway Router(config-if)#This example shows how to disable QinQ mapping on an interface by using the no form of the modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand. In addition, this command automatically removes all subinterfaces on the interface and all of the subinterface QinQ mappings (configured with the bridge-domain(subinterfaceconfiguration)command) and service policies.
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface GE-WAN 3/0 Router(config-if)# no mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway Router(config-if)#This example shows a virtual port-channel interface that was created and assigned with two GE-WAN interfaces. The modedot1q-in-dot1qaccess-gatewaycommand is then enabled on the port-channel interface to allow it to act as a QinQ link bundle:
Router(config)# interface port-channel 20 Router(config-if)# interface GE-WAN 3/0 Router(config-if)# port-channel 20 mode on Router(config-if)# interface GE-WAN 3/1 Router(config-if)# port-channel 20 mode on Router(config-if)# interface port-channel 20 Router(config-if)# no ip address Router(config-if)# mode dot1q-in-dot1q access-gateway Router(config-if)#This example shows the error message that appears if you attempt to enable QinQ translation on a port-channel interface that contains one or more invalid interfaces:

port-channel load-defer
To configure the port load share deferral interval for all port channels, use the port-channelload-defer command in global configuration mode. To reset the port defer interval to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
Usage Guidelines
To reduce data loss following a stateful switchover (SSO), port load share deferral can be enabled by entering the port-channelportload-defer command on a port channel of a switch that is connected by a multichassis EtherChannel (MEC) to a virtual switching system (VSS). Port load share deferral temporarily prevents the switch from forwarding data traffic to MEC member ports on a failed chassis of the VSS while the VSS recovers from the SSO.
The load share deferral interval is determined by a single global timer configurable by the port-channelload-defer command. After an SSO switchover, a period of several seconds to several minutes can be required for the reinitialization of line cards and the reestablishment of forwarding tables, particularly multicast topologies.
The valid range of seconds is 1 to 1800 seconds; the default is 120 seconds.
Examples
This example shows how to set the global port deferral interval to 60 seconds:
Router(config)# port-channel load-defer 60 Router(config)#This example shows how to verify the configuration of the port deferral interval on a port channel:
Router# show etherchannel 50 port-channel Port-channels in the group: ---------------------- Port-channel: Po50 (Primary Aggregator) ------------ Age of the Port-channel = 0d:00h:22m:20s Logical slot/port = 46/5 Number of ports = 3 HotStandBy port = null Port state = Port-channel Ag-Inuse Protocol = LACP Fast-switchover = disabled Load share deferral = enabled defer period = 60 sec time left = 57 sec Router#private-vlan
To configure private VLANs (PVLANs), use the private-vlan command in VLAN configuration mode. To remove the PVLAN configuration, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
You cannot configure PVLANs on a port-security port. If you enter the pvlan command on a port-security port, the following error message is displayed:
Command rejected: Gix/y is Port Security enabled port.Within groups of 12 ports (1-12, 13-24, 25-36, and 37-48), if one of the ports is a trunk, a Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination, or a promiscuous PVLAN port, then do not configure the ports as isolated or as community VLAN ports. If so, any isolated or community VLAN configuration for the other ports within the 12 ports is inactive. To reactivate the ports, remove the isolated or community VLAN port configuration and enter the shutdown and noshutdown commands.
Caution
If you enter the shutdown command and then thenoshutdown command in the VLAN configuration mode on a PVLAN (primary or secondary), the PVLAN type and association information can be deleted. Ensure to reconfigure the VLAN as a PVLAN.
NoteIn Release 12.2(17a)SX, this restriction applies to Ethernet 10 Mb, 10/100 Mb, and 100 Mb modules except WS-X6548-RJ-45 and WS-X6548-RJ-21. In releases earlier than Release 12.2(17a)SX, this restriction applies to Ethernet 10 Mb, 10/100 Mb, and 100 Mb modules.
You cannot configure VLAN 1 or VLANs 1001 to 1005 as PVLANs.
VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) does not propagate PVLAN configuration. Each protected or private port is associated with a PVLAN, that is not supported through VTP. Therefore, you must configure PVLANs on each device where you require PVLAN ports.
A promiscuous port is a private port that is assigned to a primary VLAN.
An isolated VLAN is a VLAN that is used by isolated ports to communicate with promiscuous ports. The traffic from an isolated VLAN is blocked on all other private ports in the same VLAN. This traffic can only be received by standard trunking ports and promiscuous ports that are assigned to the corresponding primary VLAN.
A primary VLAN is the VLAN that is used to carry the traffic from the routers to customer end stations on private ports.
A community VLAN is the VLAN that carries the traffic among community ports, and from community ports to the promiscuous ports on the corresponding primary VLAN.
You can specify only one isolated vlan-idin the vlan command, while multiple community VLANs are allowed. Isolated and community VLANs can only be associated with one VLAN. The associated VLAN list must not contain primary VLANs. You cannot configure a VLAN that is already associated to a primary VLAN as a primary VLAN.
The private-vlan commands do not take effect until you exit the VLAN configuration mode.
If you delete either the primary or secondary VLAN, the ports that are associated with the VLAN become inactive.
See the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for additional configuration guidelines.
