7.2.2.2.5 MAC Address Filter
The MAC Address Filter defines an exact Source Address, Destination Address, or
Source/Destination Address pair. Ranges of each of these can be specified and a
directional indicator specified. The directional indicator "Source --> Destination"
will place the specified Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) in the
applicable Filter Engine comparison tables. The directional indicator "Destination
--> Source" will place the specified Source and Destination Address value(s)/
range(s) in the Filter Engine comparison tables with opposite orientation. The
specified Source Address value(range) will be placed in the Destination table
location(s) and the Destination Address value(range) will be placed in the
Source table location(s). The directional indicator "Bidirectional <->" will place
one entry with the Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) into the
applicable locations in the Filter Engine comparison tables and a second entry
with the Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) in the opposite
locations.
The MAC Address format is written in hexadecimal with hyphen (-) separators.
For example, a valid MAC Address is 00-34-F5-E2-14-0C. The MAC Address Filter
is bound by the
Rule Definition
limitations.
7.2.2.2.6 VLAN ID Filter
The VLAN ID Filter definition is used to specify an exact VLAN ID or a range of
VLAN IDs. The VLAN ID is located in two bytes, specifically offsets 14/15 where
the lower four bits of offset 14 and the entire byte of offset 15 are used for the
VLAN ID. This corresponds to 12 bits of data, which corresponds to a maximum
VLAN ID of 4095. Consequently, the maximum value that can be specified in the
definition of a VLAN ID filter is 4095. The VLAN IDs are specified as integers.
The VLAN ID Filter is bound by the
Rule Definition
limitations.
7.2.2.2.7 IPv4 IP Address Filter
The IPv4 IP Address Filter definition is used to specify an exact Source Address,
Destination Address, or a Source/Destination Address pair. In addition, ranges of
each of these can be specified and a directional indicator specified. The
directional indicator "Source --> Destination" will place the specified Source and
Destination Address value(s)/range(s) in the applicable Filter Engine comparison
tables. The directional indicator "Destination --> Source" will place the specified
Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) in the Filter Engine
comparison tables with opposite orientation. In other words, the specified
Source Address value(range) will be placed in the Destination table location(s)
and the Destination Address value(range) will be placed in the Source table
location(s). The directional indicator "Bidirectional <->" will place one entry with
the Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) into the applicable
locations in the Filter Engine comparison tables and a second entry with the
Source and Destination Address value(s)/range(s) in the opposite locations.
The IPv4 IP Address format is written as integers between 0 and 255 with period
(.) separators. For example, a valid IPv4 IP address is 13.45.234.100. The IPv4
IP Address Filter is bound by the
Rule Definition
limitations.
