This incoming IP packet (10000000) has a source IP address that does not match the network address in the Source IP Address field (00000000) in the Netopia R7200. This rule will forward this packet because the packet does not match.

Since the Source IP Network Address in the Netopia R7200 is 01100000, and the source IP address after the logical AND is 1011000, this rule does not match and this packet will be forwarded.
