Prestige 861H Series User's Guide For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP 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 fields 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, for example, FFFFFFFF. To configure a generic rule select an empty filter set in menu 21, for example 5. Select Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [ENTER] to open Menu 21.1.5.1 - Generic Filter Rule, as shown in the following figure. Figure 128 Menu 21.1.5.1 Generic Filter Rule Menu 21.1.5.1 - Generic Filter Rule Filter #: 5,1 Filter Type= Generic Filter Rule Active= No Offset= 0 Length= 0 Mask= N/A Value= N/A More= No Log= None Action Matched= Check Next Rule Action Not Matched= Check Next Rule Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel: The next table describes the fields in the Generic Filter Rule menu.

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select a type of rule. Parameters displayed below each type will be different. Choices are Generic Filter Rule or TCP/IP Filter Rule. Select Yes to turn on or No to turn off the filter rule. Type the starting byte of the data portion in the packet that you want to compare. The range for this field is from 0 to 255. Type the byte count of the data portion in the packet that you want to compare. The range for this field is 0 to 8. Type the mask (in Hexadecimal) to apply to the data portion before comparison. Type the value (in Hexadecimal) to compare with the data portion. If Yes, a matching packet is passed to the next filter rule before an action is taken or else the packet is disposed of according to the action fields. If More is Yes, then Action Matched and Action Not Matched will be N/A. Chapter 21 Filter Configuration 196

Prestige 861H Series User’s Guide
Chapter 21 Filter Configuration
196
For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP 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
fields 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, for example, FFFFFFFF.
To configure a generic rule select an empty filter set in menu 21, for example 5. Select
Generic Filter Rule
in the
Filter Type
field and press
[ENTER]
to open
Menu 21.1.5.1 –
Generic Filter Rule
