2 - Add Alias
The Add Alias option allows the creation of an easily identifiable string of characters to identify a complex Filter Mask:
Enter:
alias name (up to 8 characters)
> bmCast
Enter:
filter pattern for alias (up to 80 characters)
> 0-ffffffffffff
Enter:
alias ID number (from 1 to 32)
> 3
3 - Remove Alias
The Remove Alias option deletes an Alias from the Alias Table. (Confirm with Show Alias.)
Enter:
alias ID number, alias name
> bmCast
"bmCast" is used on LAN 1
4 - Show Pattern
The Show Pattern option displays the filter masks that have been defined with the Add Pattern option:
Enter:
all, global, lan, remote site id or alias
>
global
Id Pattern
-- ----------------------------
1 12-600x
3 LAT
Vancouver (Remote Site alias)
Id Pattern
-- ----------------------------
2 0-010203040506&12-809B
(Prevents blanket removal when an alias is in use: carefully
check usage of the alias with Show Pattern and then, if removal of
the alias is still desired, use the Remove Pattern option first to
remove all occurrences of the alias in the Filter Pattern table, then
use the Remove Alias option).
