field is 0 to 8. Default = 0.
Mask
Specify (in hexadecimal format) the value that the router should logically qualify and the
data in the packet. Because length is given in bytes, enter a hexadecimal number that
is twice the specified length for numbers in this field. For example, if length is 4, a valid
Mask must have 8 hexadecimal numbers (1155ABF8).
data in the packet. Because length is given in bytes, enter a hexadecimal number that
is twice the specified length for numbers in this field. For example, if length is 4, a valid
Mask must have 8 hexadecimal numbers (1155ABF8).
Value
Specify (in hexadecimal format ) the value that the router should use to compare with
the masked packet. The value should align with Offset. Because length is given in
bytes, you need to enter twice the length in hexadecimal numbers for this field. For
example, if length is 4, a valid value must have 8 hexadecimal numbers (1155ABF8).
If the result from the masked packet matches Value, the packet is considered matched.
