Catalyst Filter Tables

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.

Protocol Table

The Protocol Table contains a list of protocol Þlter entries. Double-click a table entry to access an entry-speciÞc Filter Protocol Table view that allows you to modify the information presented in the table. The Protocol 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.

Value

Displays the 16-bit protocol value. If the packetÕs Type Þeld or the packetÕs DSAP/SSAP Þeld is equal to this value, a match occurs. If Deny is speciÞed and a match occurs, the packet is dropped. If at least one protocol type Þlter is speciÞed with Permit and a match does not occur, the packet is dropped.
