This command creates a MAC Access Control List (ACL) identified by name, consisting of classification fields defined for the Layer 2 header of an Ethernet frame. The name parameter is a case-sensitive alphanumeric string from 1 to 255 characters uniquely identifying the MAC access list. The rate-limit attribute configures the committed rate and the committed burst size.
If a MAC ACL by this name already exists, this command enters Mac-Access-List config mode to allow updating the existing MAC ACL.
The CLI mode changes to Mac-Access-List Config mode when you successfully execute this command.
