62 CHAPTER 4: MANAGING DEVICE SECURITY Source Address - Matches the source MAC address to which packets are addressed to the ACE. Source Mask - Indicates the source MAC Address wildcard mask.Wildcards are used to mask all or part of a source MAC address. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which are ignored. A wildcard mask of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard of 00.00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all bits are important. For example, if the source MAC address is 00:AB:22:11:33:00 and the wildcard mask is 00:00:00:00:00:FF, the first five bytes of the MAC are used, while the last byte is ignored. For the source MAC address 00:AB:22:11:33:00, this wildcard mask matches all MAC addresses in the range 00:AB:22:11:33:00 to 00:AB:22:11:33:FF. Destination Address - Matches the destination MAC address to which packets are addressed to the ACE. Destination Mask - Indicates the destination MAC Address wildcard mask. Wildcards are used to mask all or part of a destination MAC address. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which are ignored. A wildcard mask of FF:FF: FF:FF:FF:FF indicates that no bit is important. A wildcard mask of 00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all bits are important. For example, if the destination MAC address is 00:AB:22:11:33:00 and the wildcard mask is 00:00:00:00:00:FF, the first five bytes of the MAC are used, while the last byte is ignored. For the destination MAC address 00:AB:22:11:33:00, this wildcard mask matches all MAC addresses in the range 00:AB:22:11:33:00 to first five bytes of the MAC are used, while the last byte is ignored. For the destination MAC address 00:AB:22:11:33:00, this wildcard mask matches all MAC addresses in the range 00:AB:22:11:33:00 to 00:AB:22:11:33:FF.
