Global filters
Global filters may specify a source IP address and mask, a destination IP address and mask, both, or neither. Global filters have the following characteristics:
- No minimum or maximum mask length exists.
- You can define only one unique global filter of each source/address pair.
- You can supply up to 8 global filters on any given set of ARU ports. A set includes four ports, except for gigabit ports, each of which can accommodate 8 global filters.
- A global filter can cause the same actions as described above for source/destination filters.
