Custom filtering

Use custom filters to ensure a device can reach other devices
regardless of where the device is attached. For example, if you have a
laptop computer that acts as a management station, you want to make
sure you can reach your servers from anywhere on the network, even
from segments that have security VLAN restrictions.
The custom filter entry for an address displays onscreen as a matrix.
The source (SRC) column lists the available source ports (1 through
12, where ports 9 through 12 are for optional expansion modules
which may not be installed). The other columns each represent an
available destination port. A + represents a forwarding path. In the
following example, each source port forwards frames to port 5. (A +
isn't listed in the P5 column because ports don't forward frames to
themselves.)
