	Pass (P)	Look in the MAC Address Filter Table for an entry with a matching
		MAC frame address and perform the filtering action specified by
		this entry. If no matching MAC frame address is found, pass the
		frame.

		MAC frame address and perform the filtering action specified by
		this entry. If no matching MAC frame address is found, block the

What Happens
	When filtering is performed, the system checks the Bridge Link Table of the bridge
During Filtering	link involved with the frame to see if the MAC Address Filtering Action parameter is
	configured to disable all filtering on that bridge link. Figure 30 shows the process
	involved in MAC Address filtering.

If the parameter is configured to disable filtering (NONE selected), then the frame is allowed to pass and no filtering is applied.

If the parameter is configured with another value, either PASS or BLOCK, this signifies that the MAC Address Filter Table is to be checked to determine whether filtering action is to be performed. In this situation, the frame is checked to see if a match occurs between the MAC address in the frame and an address contained in an entry in the MAC Address Filter Table.
