Media Access Control (MAC) filter management
22
You can configure and manage MAC filters at the device or interface (port/trunk) level.
NOTE
You can only apply MAC filters inbound traffic.
When you configure MAC filters on a device, the MAC filter does not execute until you deploy it on
an interface. Once deployed to an interface, the device performs the action associated with the
first matching filter (of all filters deployed to the device) to the packet. If the packet does not match
any of the filters deployed on the interface, the device drops the packet.
You can only apply MAC filters to physical ports and trunks. If you apply a MAC filter to a trunk, you
must apply the MAC filter to the primary port of the trunk.
NOTE
You cannot apply a MAC filter to a virtual interface.
