You can use this guide :
you can use below example :
For an ACL, a wildcard mask of 000000111111 for MAC address 96:fa:95:1d:67:4a defines the MAC address range 96:FA:95:00:00:00 - 96:FA:95:FF:FF:FF. This MAC address range is matched against the source MAC address of the incoming packets.

Hello @Guillermo Rocha,
Wild card masks specify which hexadecimal digits of the MAC address are used and which hexadecimal digits are ignored. The wildcard mask parameter specifies a series of ones and zeroes and has a length of 12 digits. Each digit is a mask for the corresponding hexadecimal digit of the MAC address. A zero digit in the wildcard mask indicates that the corresponding hexadecimal digit of the MAC address must be considered and a one digit indicates that the corresponding hexadecimal digit to be ignored.
The wildcard mask must meet the following conditions:
-Has only one series of zeroes
-Has only one series of ones
-Start with a series of zeroes
The following are some of the examples of valid wildcard masks:
