The following Custom Filtering Table parameters can be set:
♦
Source Address:
This field allows you to input the
Source Address. This must be a valid MAC address; you will
be immediately notified with the message “Invalid MAC
Address!” if you enter an incorrect MAC address.
♦
Source Port:
This field allows you to enter the receive port
for a specified Destination Address. For example, if
00:80:C8:12:33:43 constitutes a destination address for
receive port no. 3, and the Switch receives this destination
address for port no. 5; this destination address will be
discarded. However, if you do not want a destination
address to be discarded because of lack of recognition, a zero
(0) may be used to specify all ports.
♦
Status:
This field allows you to toggle between three
choices. It represents the filtering portion of the Switch and
determines the treatment of each destination address upon
reception. The following are definitions for status types:
