Mode of Hardware Filtering
•
If the packet matches no filter, the packet is forwarded. The specific forwarding action depends
upon whether or not the destination is known. (See following descriptions.)
No Filter Match - Destination Known
If the destination is known and the corresponding device is on the Known Connect List, the
connection is made and the packet is then forwarded to the specific destination.
If the device is not on the Known Connect list, the packet is sent to all current connections.
No Filter Match - Destination Unknown
The packet is sent to all current connections.

If the Restricted Bridge Mode is selected, packets will be discarded unless overridden by a user-
defined bridge filter. The bridge filters, therefore, allow you to transfer only the packets that you
specify.
If the Restricted Bridge Mode is selected, the following packet forwarding possibilities exist:
•
If the packet matches a discard filter (packet filter only), it is discarded.
•
If the packet matches a forward filter, it is forwarded to the distribution list.
•
If the packet matches a connect filter, it is connected to the members of the distribution list.
However, with Restricted Mode, the packet needs to match a forwarding filter in order to be
forwarded.
•
If the packet matches no filter, the specific action for the packet depends upon whether or not
the destination is known. (See following descriptions.)
No Filter Match - Destination Known
If the destination is known and the corresponding device is on the Known Connect list, the con-
nection is made. If the device is not on the Known Connect list, the packet is discarded.
No Filter Match - Destination Unknown
The packet is discarded.

NFORMATION
In order to use hardware filters, the system must have a list of destination MAC addresses. It
obtains the addresses in two ways: manually and automatically.
