Figure 14-2 IPX SAP Filter Record
Each IPX filter parameter except
an associated mask. The mask determines (by the process described below) whether
the filter will be applied to the packet.
The binary bits of the mask will be "ANDed" (0+0=0, 0+1=0, 1+1=1) to the value, as
in this example:
Assume the value (hex) is
follows:
Assume the value (hex) is
follows:
Value:
Mask:
AND Result:
The mask will also be ANDed to its corresponding field in each IPX packet as deter-
mined by IPX Filter Applications. This result will be compared to the AND result of
the configured value and mask. If the two results match, the filter will be applied. This
process allows a number of packet field values to match the AND result of the mask
and value; for example:
Packet field =
1233
Binary value:
0001001000110011
Mask:
