Traffic Filters
Traffic filters apply to all incoming bridge traffic across the circuit group.
You can, if you wish, construct up to 31 filters for each bridging circuit group.
Conceptually a filter consists of a rule which identifies packets to be filtered,
an action to take upon receipt of a frame that meets the conditions of the
rule, and a precedence that identifies which action to take in the event of a
frame that meets the conditions of more than one rule. A filter rule consists
of three entities:
A specified field (or fields) in the frame header
A value (or range of values) associated with the field
An operator which specifies the relationship between field and value.
A filter operator may take one of three values: ignore, match, or don’t match.
A filter precedence is designated by a decimal value from 1 to 31; the higher
the value, the greater the precedence.
