man ipfw reveals ...
{ MAC | mac } dst-mac src-mac
Match packets with a given dst-mac and src-mac addresses,
speci-
fied as the any keyword (matching any MAC address), or six
groups
of hex digits separated by colons, and optionally followed by a
mask indicating the significant bits. The mask may be
specified
using either of the following methods:
1. A slash (/) followed by the number of significant bits.
For example, an address with 33 significant bits
could be
specified as:
MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60/33 any
2. An ampersand (&) followed by a bitmask specified as six
groups of hex digits separated by colons. For example,
an address in which the last 16 bits are significant
could be specified as:
MAC 10:20:30:40:50:60&00:00:00:00:ff:ff any
Note that the ampersand character has a special meaning
in many shells and should generally be escaped.
Note that the order of MAC addresses (destination first, source
second) is the same as on the wire, but the opposite of the one
used for IP addresses.
So
ipfw add 999 deny MAC any 10:20:30:40:50:60/33
would be a valid rule.
