MAC Filter Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| MAC Address | The MAC address of the filter. The destination MAC address of an Ethernet frame must match this value to be considered for the filter. When adding or editing a filter, note that you cannot configure the following MAC addresses in this field:
|
| VLAN ID | The VLAN ID associated with the filter. The VLAN ID is used with the MAC address to fully identify the frames to filter. |
| Source Port Mask | The port(s) included in the inbound filter. If a frame with the MAC address and VLAN ID combination specified in the filter is received on a port in the Source Members list, it is forwarded to a port in the Destination Members list. If the frame that meets the filter criteria is received on a port that is not in the Source Members list, it is dropped. To add source ports to the filter, select one or more ports from the Available Port List field ([Ctrl] + click to select multiple ports). Then, use the appropriate arrow icon to move the selected ports to the Source Members field. |
| Destination Port Mask | The port(s) included in the outbound filter. A frame with the MAC address and VLAN ID combination specified in the filter is transmitted only out of ports in the list. To add destination ports to the filter, select one or more ports from the Available Port List field ([Ctrl] + click to select multiple ports). Then, use the appropriate arrow icon to add the selected ports to the Source Members field. |
