–Mask – Indicates the source MAC Address wild card mask. Wildcards are used to
mask all or part of a source IP Address. Wild card masks specify which bits are used
and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of ff: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff indicates that no bit is
important. A wildcard of 00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all the bits in the address to
which the mask is applied are important. For example, if the source IPv6 address is
14.36.18.19.1.1 and the wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00.00.00, the middle two bits of
the IP address are used, while the last three fields are ignored.
