Ever faced a situation where-in you have your servers in a single Vlan (same subnet) and you want to prevent them talking to each other? You may want to do it for security purposes, what you are securing is that if any one of the server gets infected you don’t want that to be spread to others. However, each product has its own way of doing things.

So for a 6500 Cisco switch, you do it as below;

For Catalyst OS:

set security acl mac <AclName> deny <FirstServerMacAddress> <SecondServerMacAddress>
commit security acl <AclName>
