base the rule on the fields in the IP and the upper layer protocol, for example, UDP and TCP
headers.

ignored if it is 0.0.0.0.
Destination
Subnet Netmask

field is 0 to 65535. This field is ignored if it is 0.

Select the comparison to apply to the destination port in the packet against the
value given in the
Destination Port
field.

8.2.3
Editing Generic Filters
Use this screen to display a generic filter set on your ZyXEL Device. The purpose of generic rules is
to allow you to filter non-IP packets. For IP packets, it is generally easier to use the IP rules directly.
For generic rules, the ZyXEL Device treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP or IPX
packet. You specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length
fields, both in bytes. The ZyXEL Device applies the Mask (bit-wise ANDing) to the data portion
before comparing the result against the Value to determine a match. The Mask and Value are
specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes two hexadecimal digits to represent a byte, so
if the length is 4 bytes, the value in either field will take 8 digits, for example, FFFFFFFF.
Port Compare
Select the comparison to apply to the source port in the packet against the value
given in the
Source Port
field.
Options are
None
,
Equal
,
Not Equal
,
Less
and
Greater
.
TCP Estab
This field is only available when you select
TCP
in the
Protocol
field.
Select
Yes
to have the rule match packets that want to establish a TCP
connection. This field is ignored if you select
No
.
More
Select
Yes
to pass a matching packet to the next filter rule before an action is
taken. Select
No
to act upon the packet according to the action fields.
Log
Select a logging option from the following:
None
– No packets will be logged.
Match
- Only packets that match the rule parameters will be logged.
Not Match
- Only packets that do not match the rule parameters will be logged.
Both
– All packets will be logged.
Action Match
Select the action for a matching packet.
Options are
Check Next Rule
,
Forward
and
Drop
.
Action Not Match
Select the action for a packet not matching the rule.
Options are
Check Next Rule
,
Forward
and
Drop
.
