3.4.2 Description
This command enables filtering of Ethernet packets according to the ETHER_TYPE field in the header. Only packets of the type specified using this command will be sent on the port specified; packets of all types will always be received.

Option | Permitted ETHER_TYPE values |
|

pppoe | 0x8863, 0x8864 - PPP Over Ethernet (RFC 2516) |

The port is specified as an integer, as displayed by the device list command. When using this command in the initbridge configuration file, ports are numbered in the order in which the device add commands are given, starting from 1.
If no arguments are given, the current settings for each port are displayed.
