MAC Lists

sidebar_position: 5

MAC-list could be used in a route-map to match mac-address or portion of MAC address when used with mac-mask. If no mac-mask is configured, we will use ffff.ffff.ffff.

MAC-list helps to filter MAC address in EVPN Type-2 routes.

Examples

In this example, we create a mac-list named FILTER_MAC_AAA with the sequence number seq 5 which will permit MAC address for host with MAC aaaa.aaaa.aaaa.

The second entry in the sequence 10 will match other host with MAC bbbb.bbbb.bbbb.

This MAC-list is used in the group name: maclist_RCtrlGrp, which is consumed by the switch: netascode-leaf1.

mac-list FILTER_MAC_AAA seq 5 permit aaaa.aaaa.aaaa ffff.ffff.ffff
mac-list FILTER_MAC_AAA seq 10 permit bbbb.bbbb.bbbb ffff.ffff.ffff
