Filters

5-5

to filter (ON) or not filter (OFF) packets from the specified address.

With the address table entry shown in Table 5-1, you could use any 
of the three types of address table filtering which are described in 
the sections that follow:

 • Destination address filter

 • Source address filter

 • Source address multicast filter

A destination address filter may be used to discard all traffic 
destined to a specific MAC address. This type of filter is configured 
by setting a static address entry for the MAC address and 
specifying 

{null}

port assigned by the static entry will take precedence over the port 
learned by the ATX's learning algorithm.

The effect of this filter is that packets to the specified address will 
not be forwarded to any port.

The source address filtering capability uses the source filter flag, 
which is a component of each entry in the address table. When the 
flag is set to ON, all packets originating from the designated MAC 
address will be filtered.
