AAM6020VI-T4 User Manual which are part of the bridge itself. Twenty filter rules are supported with bridge filtering. To enable Bridge Filters, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Bridge Filters. Figure 15 illustrates a typical Bridge filter configuration. The User Interface for Bridge Filter allows the user to add/edit/delete, as well as, enables the filter rules. To add rules, simply define the source MAC address, destination MAC address and frame type with desired filtering type (i.e. allow/deny), and press the "Add" button. The MAC address must be in a xx-xx-xx-xxxx-xx format, with 00-00-00-00-00-00 as "don't care". Blanks can be used in the MAC address space, and would be considered also as "don't care". To edit/modify an existing filter rule, select the desired rule created previously from "Add" in the "Edit" select box. The selected filter rule will appear on top section, as with the "Add" filter rule. Make the desired change to the MAC address, frame type and/or access type, and press "Apply". To delete filter rule(s), select the filter rule entry to delete in the "Delete" selection box. Note that multiple deletions are possible. Once all the desired filter rule(s) is/are selected for deletion, press the "Apply" button. The "Select All" select box can also be used to delete the entire filter rule. It provides a quick method of selecting all filter rules for deletion. The "Enable Bridge Filters" button allow the user to enable or disable bridge filtering. It can be set/unset during any add/edit/delete operation. It can also be set/unset independently by just pressing the "Apply" button. Figure 15 (Bridge Filters) Note: The bridge filter table contains 3 hidden rules. These rules are entered automatically by the system to ensure the user does not "lock" them out of the system. The first rule allows any and all ARP frames through the system. The second rule allows all IPv4 frames with the destination MAC address of the bridge to go through. The third rule allows all IPv4 frames with the source MAC address of the bridge to go through. Note: On a windows based machine, to find a MAC address, ad a dos prompt type ipconfig /all. The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Tools (at the top of the page) and select System Commands. At the system commands page, click on Save All. 4.6.7 Multicast Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagrams to all hosts that belong to what is called a "host group."
