Field Active Offset Length Mask Value More Generic Filter Rule Menu Fields Description In this field, you can make the filter rule active (Yes) or inactive (No). Offset refers to the value of the byte that you want to use as your starting offset. That is, in the data packet, at what point do you want to begin the comparison. The range for this field is from 0 to 255. Default = 0. This field refers to the length (in bytes) of the data in the packet that the router should use for comparison and masking. The starting point of this data is determined by Offset. The range for this field is 0 to 8. Default = 0. In this field, specify (in hexadecimal) the value that the router should logically qualify and the data in the packet. Because length is given in bytes, enter a hexadecimal number that is twice the specified length for numbers in this field. For example, if length is 4, a valid Mask entry must have 8 hexadecimal numbers (1155ABF8). In this field, specify (in hexadecimal) the value that the router should use to compare with the masked packet. The value should align with Offset. Because length is given in bytes, you need to enter twice the length in hexadecimal numbers for this field. For example, if length is 4, a valid Value entry must have 8 hexadecimal numbers (1155ABF8). If the result from the masked packet matches Value, then the packet is considered matched. In this field, you can determine whether to pass the packet through the next filter rule before an action is taken. There are two options for this field: • Yes • No (Default) If Yes is selected for this field, Action Matched and Action Not Matched will be N/A. Filter Configuration 8-7
