– Mask – Indicates the source MAC Address wild card mask. Wildcards are used to
mask all or part of a source IP Address. Wild card masks specify which bits are used
and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask of ff: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff indicates that no bit is
important. A wildcard of 00.00.00.00.00.00 indicates that all the bits are important.
For example, if the source IP address 14.36.18.19.1.1 and the wildcard mask is
255.36.184.00.00.00, the middle two bits of the IP address are used, while the last
three bits are ignored.
