The purpose of device rules is to allow you to filter non-IP/IPX packets. For IP and IPX, it is generally easier to use the protocol rules directly. For Device rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX packet. You specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both in bytes. The Prestige applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before comparing the result against the Value to determine a match. The Mask and Value are specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes two hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits, e.g., FFFFFFFF. To configure a device rule, select Device Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [ENTER] to open Menu 21.1.1 - Device Filter Rule, as shown below. Filter Configuration 8-13

Device Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a device filter rule.
The purpose of device rules is to allow you to
filter non-IP/IPX packets.
For IP and IPX, it is generally easier to use the protocol rules directly.
For Device rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX packet. You
specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both in bytes.
The
Prestige applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion before comparing the result against the
Value to determine a match.
The Mask and Value are specified in hexadecimal numbers.
Note that it takes
two hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits,
e.g.,
FFFFFFFF
.
To configure a device rule, select Device Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [
ENTER
] to open
Menu 21.1.1 - Device Filter Rule, as shown below.
