Vendor Table
This area of the Filter Tables view contains a list of vendor ID Þlter entries. 
Double-click a table entry to access an entry-speciÞc Filter Vendor Table view 
that allows you to modify the information presented in the table. The Vendor 
Table and its corresponding entry-speciÞc views provide the following 
information:
Module
Displays the unique integer identiÞer of the module where this port is located. 
This number is the same as the slot number in which the module is installed.
Port
Displays the unique integer identiÞer of this port within its module. This 
value is determined by the location of the port on the module.
ID
Displays the vendor ID portion of a MAC address. If the source or destination 
address has the same vendor ID, a match occurs. If ÒDenyÓ is speciÞed in the 
Type Þeld and a match occurs, the packet is dropped. If at least one vendor ID 
Þlter is speciÞed with ÒPermitÓ and a match does not occur, the packet is 
dropped.
Type
Displays the type of action this Þlter will cause. Selecting ÒInvalidÓ removes 
this Þlter from the table. Selecting ÒDenyÓ causes packets whose source or 
destination vendor ID matches the vendor ID speciÞed in the ID Þeld to be 
dropped. Selecting ÒPermitÓ causes all packets whose vendor ID does not 
match the ID speciÞed in the ID Þeld to be dropped.
