Queue:
Selects which queue that traffic that matches the criteria specified in this filter
definition should be directed. This field may be left blank during definition, but
must be eventually be assigned. If the “Drop” option is selected, all traffic
selected by this filter will be dropped. The Default filter will target the Default
Queue, but can be redefined in this screen.
Protocol:
Select between * / ARP / TCP / FTP/ UDP / IP / ICMP / MPLS / SCTP / PTPv1 / PTPv2
NOTES: (only one choice may be selected). The default is * (all protocols)
FTP: If FTP is selected, the FX automatically tracks the data ports associated with FTP
transfers by monitoring the activity on the FTP control port, which is defaulted to
port 21 upon initial selection. To maintain Multicator transmitter functionality when
performing QOS on non standard FTP ports, an additional QOS filter must be created
for FTP that utilizes port 21. The FTP control port may be changed. “For active FTP”,
the source port field should be configured to “20, 21”
MPLS: If MPLS is selected, then the “MPLS Label”, and “MPLS experimental bits”
fields will be enabled as filter criteria, otherwise these fields are disabled. If MPLS is
selected, then additionally the VLAN filter criterion is enabled but all other filter
criteria fields are disabled.
If ARP, PTPv1, PTPv2 or FTP is selected, then this filter can’t be assigned to a queue
for which packet compression is enabled.
PTPv1 or PTPv2 : If PTPv1 or PTPv2 is selected, only DSCP, VLAN, VLAN Priority, Destination subnets,
and Source subnets may be selected. If PTPv2 is selected, in addition to PTPv2 running over UDP, the
filter will also check for packets on ethertype 88f7, in which case IP specific options do not apply.
SCTP: If SCTP is selected, only DSCP, VLAN priority, Destination subnets, and Source subnets may be
selected.
DSCP:
Select one of the choices from the pull-down menu of DCSP choices. Only one choice may be
selected). The default is * (any)
VLAN:
Enter either 0 or a VLAN ID between 2 and 4094. Only one may be selected. 0 indicates untagged
traffic as the selection criteria. The default is * (any VLAN)
VLAN Priority:
Choose between ‘any’ or a priority value between 0 and 7. Only one choice may be
selected. The default is * (any VLAN priority)
MPLS Label:
If MPLS was selected as the protocol then a decimal value between 0 and 1048575 may be
entered. If no value is entered then all MPLS labels will match the filter criteria. If there
are multiple MPLS labels, the filter will only match the first label encountered in the packet.
MPLS experimental bits:
If MPLS was selected as the protocol then you can choose a value between 0 and 7 as match criteria.
If ‘*’ is chosen then the filter does not use the experimental bits in the match criteria, otherwise all
bits must match exactly.
