Figure 172 Menu 21.1.5.1 Generic Filter Rule; Table 97 Menu 21.1.5.1 Generic Filter Rule - ZyXEL Communications ADSL 2+ Gateway P-660HW-T1 User Manual

For generic rules, the Prestige treats a packet as a byte stream as opposed to an IP packet. You
specify the portion of the packet to check with the Offset (from 0) and the Length fields, both
in bytes. The Prestige 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 fields are
specified in hexadecimal numbers. Note that it takes two hexadecimal digits to represent a
byte, so if the length is 4, the value in either field will take 8 digits, for example, FFFFFFFF.
To configure a generic rule select an empty filter set in menu 21, for example 5. Select
Generic Filter Rule in the Filter Type field and press [ENTER] to open Menu 21.1.5.1 –
Generic Filter Rule, as shown in the following figure.
