• Atalk address - 2 decimal numbers separated by dots. The first can range from 0 to 65534 and
the second from 0 to 255. For example 30234.123
• IPX address - IPX address notation accepts 8 hex digits [4 bytes] and 12 hex digits [6 bytes]
separated by dot (without ports) or 8 hex digits [4 bytes] and 16 hex digits [8 bytes] separated
by dot (with ports) e.g. 34FD34AA.0001000000A1 or 34FD34AA.0001000000A18888.
• IPv4 dot notation address - 4 decimal numbers in the range of 0 to 255, separated by dots. For
example, 12.235.96.2.
• IPv6 address - an IPv6 address must be in one of the following formats, in compliance with
section 2.2 of RFC 4291 (IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture):
• Regular representation is a 128-bit address, divided into 16-bit fields of case insensitive
hexadecimal, each field separated by colon. An example of this notation is shown below:
2031:0000:130F:0000:0000:09c0:876A:130B
• Leading zeros in a field are optional. For example
2031:0:130F:0:0:9c0:876A:130B is valid
• Successive fields of '0' can be represented as "::" but only once in address. For example:
2031:0:130F::9c0:876A:130B is valid.
2031::130F::9c0:876A:130B is not valid.
• It is possible to represent an IPv4 address inside an IPv6 address.
• IPv6 addresses with an embedded IPv4 address are shown below:
0:0:0:0:0:0:192.168.0.1 or ::192.168.0.1
• IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses are shown below:
0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:192.168.0.1 or ::FFFF:192.168.0.1
If no value is entered for a
Station Address
field, all stations are selected. For example, if you set
an address for Station 1, no address for Station 2, and set the direction to
->
all packets having
Station 1 as the Source Address are selected for, regardless of the Destination Address.
Use wild cards when specifying addresses to select data on more than one station. An
X
used as a
character for an address string means that any value will be accepted for that position; for
example,
343F4AXXXXXX
.
IP Address Ranges
For addresses in IP dot notation, you can also specify a range of addresses. Ranges are specified by
a slash mark and a number after the IP address. The number specifies the number of bits to match
within the 32 bits that comprise an IP address (it takes 32 bits to represent an IP address). For
example, 192.168.0.0/24 means any address that matches the first 24 bits of the address
192.168.0.0. The larger the number of bits you are matching, the smaller the range of IP addresses
that will be selected.
IP range examples:
192.168.0.0/24 – Range starting with 192.168.0.0 and ending with 192.168.0.255.
192.168.0.0/16 – Range starting with 192.168.0.0 and ending with 192.168.255.255.
192.168.0.0/28 – Range starting with 192.168.0.0 and ending with 192.168.0.15.
192.168.0.1/32 – Just one IP address (192.168.0.1) since there are 32 bits in the address.
