Re: Deny ARP Catalyst - Potential Problem

Al,

That's incredible. But, let me make sure I understand you correctly.

So, a mac acl which denies arp won't work for ip traffic if it's just
applied to L2 port.

But, that same mac acl when used as part of a VACL will work.

Is that what you're saying?

If that's true, it's a good thing we talked about this.

Thanks, Tim

Tim,

I labbed this before I posted the VACL configuration, I had the same MAC ACL
epiphany. I believe what you're speaking of is in reference to
mac-access-list applied to L2 switch ports. VACLs are benevolent! ;-)

VACLs can filter Lsap, Ethertype, IP, etc. I'll send you the configuration
and verification if you like. Or better yet, you could try it yourself.
There are numerous caveats to the placement of MAC-ACL on the 3550.

In particular:

"You cannot apply an ACL to a Layer 2 interface on a switch if the switch
has an input Layer 3 ACL or a VLAN map applied to it. An error message is
generated if you attempt to do so. You can apply an ACL to a Layer 2
interface if the switch has output Layer 3 ACLs applied.

A Layer 2 interface can have only one MAC access list. If you apply a MAC
access list to a Layer 2 interface that has a MAC ACL configured, the new
ACL replaces the previously configured one. "

Hey guys,

This just occurred to me.

According to the 3550 CG, mac acl's can't be used to filter ip traffic,
only non-ip

traffic. That being the case, how would we filter arp's for ip traffic on a
3550,

assuming that's possible?

TIA, Tim
