B-4
Specifying MAC Address Ranges
When you create a filter that includes a Source or Destination MAC Address
criterion, you specify the MAC Address range in either most significant bit (MSB)
or canonical format. Table B-4 lists the address formats to use.
When defining outbound traffic filters you can specify a MAC address in either
MSB or canonical format, but the default is canonical.
Source Routing Bridge Source MAC Addresses
When specifying Source MAC Source Routing addresses, set the most significant
bit (MSB) to one.
For example (Token Ring packets):
1. The Source MAC address to be filtered is 0x40000037450440.
2. Add the First Bit Set MAC Address 0x800000000000.
3. Enter the filter criteria range as 0xC00037450440.
Bit 0 (the 0x80 bit) of Byte 0 (the leftmost byte) indicates the presence of the
Routing Information Field (RIF). This bit is set to 1 if the RIF field is present and
0 if there is no RIF field. Keep this in mind if you use a sniffer to analyze packets
for their Source MAC address. For example, a sniffer would decode LAA with the
first byte of 40 as 0x400031740001. If the RIF bit is set, the hexadecimal value of
the packet is 0xC00031740001.
