Via the following dialogue window it is possible to define the MAC addresses of the
respective sources and targets.
The Source MAC Address defines the source from which data is received.
The Target MAC Address defines the target to which data is sent.
In case you are using a permanent, static connection between two devices, you may enter
their respective MAC addresses here. Otherwise leave the asterisk symbol unchanged.
Note:
If the option “Used Hardware Groups“ is activated, a selection among the added hardware
groups is possible. Use this option if you want to allocate rules for more than one MAC
address.

If you want to use a permanent connection between two defined devices, you may
define the MAC addresses of the respective devices here.

ARP The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network protocol that allows
resolving network addresses to hardware addresses. ARP is not an IP-only
or Ethernet-only protocol, but due to the prevalence of IPv4 and Ethernet,
it is used almost exclusively for resolving IP addresses to Ethernet MAC
addresses.
IPv4 IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4, formerly simply IP), is the fourth
iteration of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is the first version of the protocol
to be widely deployed and is one of the essential underlying internet
technologies.
Vlan A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a virtual local network inside a
physical network. The protocol commonly used in configuring virtual LANs
is IEEE 802.1Q.
Other Allows selection of a different protocol.
