Using CIDR notation to enter the ACE mask
You can use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation to enter ACE masks. The switch interprets the bits specified with CIDR notation as the IP address bits in an ACE and the corresponding IP address bits in a packet. The switch then converts the mask to inverse notation for ACE use.
