Transparent Bridging Commands

This chapter describes the function and displays the syntax of transparent bridging commands. For more information about defaults and usage guidelines, see the corresponding chapter of the Router Products Command Reference publication.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} address mask
no access-list access-list-number

Use the access-list global configuration command to establish MAC address access lists. Use the no form of this command to remove a single access list entry.

access-list-number	Integer from 700 to 799 that you select for the list.
permit	Permits the frame.
deny	Denies the frame.
address mask	48-bit MAC addresses written in dotted triplet form. The ones bits in the mask argument are the bits to be ignored in address.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} source source-mask
destination destination-mask offset size operator operand

Use the access-list global configuration command to provide extended access lists that allow finer granularity of control. These lists allow you to specify both source and destination addresses and arbitrary bytes in the packet.

access-list-number	Integer from 1100 through 1199 that you assign to identify one or more permit/deny conditions as an extended access list. Note that a list number in the range 1100 through 1199 distinguishes an extended access list from other access lists.
permit	Allows a connection when a packet matches an access condition. The router stops checking the extended access list after a match occurs. All conditions must be met to make a match.
deny	Disallows a connection when a packet matches an access condition. The router stops checking the extended access list after a match occurs. All conditions must be met to make a match.
source	MAC Ethernet address in the form xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.
source-mask	Mask of MAC Ethernet source address bits to be ignored. The router uses the source and source-mask arguments to match the source address of a packet.
destination	MAC Ethernet value used for matching the destination address of a packet.
destination-mask	Mask of MAC Ethernet destination address bits to be ignored. The router uses the destination and destination-mask arguments to match the destination address of a packet.
offset	Range of values that must be satisfied in the access list. Specified in decimal or in hexadecimal format in the form 0xnn. The offset is the number of bytes from the destination address field; it is not an offset from the start of the packet. The number of bytes you need to offset from the destination address varies depending on the media encapsulation type you are using.
size	Range of values that must be satisfied in the access list. Must be an integer 1 through 4.
operator	Compares arbitrary bytes within the packet. Can be one of the following keywords: lt—less than gt—greater than eq—equal neq—not equal and—bitwise and xor—bitwise exclusive or nop—address match only
operand	Compares arbitrary bytes within the packet. The value to be compared to or masked against.

access-list access-list-number {permit | deny} type-code wild-mask
no access-list access-list-number

Use the access-list global configuration command to build type-code access lists. Use the no form of this command to remove a single access list entry.

access-list-number	User-selectable number between 200 and 299 that identifies the list.
permit	Permits the frame.
deny	Denies the frame.
type-code	16-bit hexadecimal number written with a leading "0x"; for example, 0x6000. You can specify either an Ethernet type code for Ethernet-encapsulated packets, or a DSAP/SSAP pair for 802.3 or 802.5-encapsulated packets. Ethernet type codes are listed in the appendix "Ethernet Type Codes" in the Router Products Command Reference publication.
wild-mask	16-bit hexadecimal number whose ones bits correspond to bits in the type-code argument that should be ignored when making a comparison. (A mask for a DSAP/SSAP pair should always be at least 0x0101. This is because these two bits are used for purposes other than identifying the SAP codes.)

bridge-group	Group number you assigned to the spanning tree. Must be the same as that specified in the bridge protocol command.
mac-address	48-bit dotted-triplet hardware address such as that displayed by the EXEC show arp command, for example, 0800.cb00.45e9. It is either a station address, the broadcast address, or a multicast destination address.
forward	Frame sent from or destined to the specified address is forwarded as appropriate.
discard	Frame sent from or destined to the specified address is discarded without further processing.
interface	(Optional) Interface specification, such as Ethernet 0. It is added after the forward keyword to indicate the interface on which that address can be reached.
