Using Traffic Filters
1-11
User-Defined Criteria
To apply customized criteria that use fields that are not represented in a protocol’s
predefined criteria, you can define a user-defined criterion. You specify its location
within the packet header in terms of three parameters:
• Reference point
Specifies a predefined, known bit position within the packet header
• Offset
Specifies the beginning position of the filtered bit pattern in relation to the
reference point (measured in bits)
• Length
Specifies the total bit length of the filtered pattern
Ranges
For each traffic filter criterion, you also specify the valid range, a series of target
values appropriate to the criterion. For most criteria, you specify an address range.
There must be at least one target value per criterion. The range can be just one
value, or it can be a set of values.
You enter a minimum and a maximum value to specify the range. (For a range of
only one value, you enter only the minimum value; the Configuration Manager
automatically uses that value for both the minimum and maximum.)
For example, if the filter criteria is MAC Source Address, you must specify which
addresses you want the filter to examine. If you specify 0x0000A2000001 as the
minimum range value and 0x0000A2000003 as the maximum range value, the
router checks for packets with a MAC source address between 0x0000A2000001
and 0x0000A2000003, inclusive.
Note: Chapter 5 lists valid range values for common traffic filter criteria and
explains how to specify some common address ranges.
