ZyXEL Communications Corporation PRESTIGE310S Manuel D’Utilisation

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, e.g.,

FFFFFFFF

.

To configure a generic rule, select Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field in the Menu 21.4.1 and press
[Enter] to open Generic Filter Rule, as shown below.
