8.2.4 Generic Filter Rule
This section shows you how to configure a generic filter rule. The purpose of generic rules is to allow you
to filter non-IP packets. For IP, it is generally easier to use the IP rules directly.
For generic 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, for example,
FFFFFFFF
.
To configure a generic rule, select
Generic Filter Rule
in the
Filter Type
field in menu 21.6 and press
[ENTER]
to open Generic Filter Rule, as shown next.
