??Direction – this defines the direction of the frame relative to the Interface parameter below.
??State – this is used to choose the routing decision applied to the frame. The three decisions are described:
1.forward – this allows the routing of the frame, if it has met the criteria of the corresponding filter.
2.drop – this drops (doesn’t allow routing for) a specific frame that has met the criteria of the corresponding filter.
3.disable – this does not apply the protocol independent filter.
??Interface – this applies the filter to a specific interface, either LAN or one of the ISDN interfaces.
??Offset – this defines the reference byte for the Length parameter (described below). The Offset is the number of bytes (octets) from the beginning of the first byte of the frame header, immediately after the preamble. The range of the offset parameter is from 0 to 255 octets. The first byte in a packet has an offset 0.
??Length – this is the number of bytes (octets) from 0 to 8 to compare from the offset value (the Offset reference byte).
??Value – this is a 16 digit, hexadecimal field, defining the actual bit values used to compare with the frame data, at the specified (Offset) position.
??Mask – this is a 16 digit, hexadecimal bit mask, used as an operand in the
