xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
create access_profile (for Ethernet)
Used to create an access profile on the Switch by examining the
Ethernet part of the packet header. Masks entered can be combined
with the values the Switch finds in the specified frame header fields.
Specific values for the rules are entered using the config
access_profile command, below.
Syntax
create access_profile profile_id <value 1-8> ethernet {vlan |
source_mac <macmask> | destination_mac <macmask> |
802.1p | ethernet_type}
Description This command will allow the user to create a profile for packets that
may be accepted or denied by the Switch by examining the Ethernet
part of the packet header. Specific values for rules pertaining to the
Ethernet part of the packet header may be defined by configuring the
config access_profile command for Ethernet, as stated below.
Parameters profile_id <value 1-8> - Specifies an index number between 1 and 8
that will identify the access profile being created with this command.
ethernet - Specifies that the Switch will examine the layer 2 part of
each packet header with emphasis on one or more of the following:
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Purpose
• vlan − Specifies that the Switch will examine the VLAN part of
each packet header.
• source_mac <macmask> − Specifies a MAC address mask for
the source MAC address. This mask is entered in the following
hexadecimal format: 000000000000-FFFFFFFFFFFF
• destination_mac <macmask> − Specifies a MAC address
mask for the destination MAC address in the following format:
000000000000-FFFFFFFFFFFF
• 802.1p − Specifies that the Switch will examine the 802.1p
priority value in the frame’s header.
• ethernet_type − Specifies that the Switch will examine the
Ethernet type value in each frame’s header.
