92 CHAPTER 4: MANAGING DEVICE SECURITY
■ Source IP Address — If selected, enables matching the source port IP 
address to which packets are addressed to the rule, according to a 
wildcard mask. The field value is either user defined or Any. If Any is 
selected, accepts any source IP address and disables wildcard mask 
filtering.
■ Wild Card Mask — Defines the source IP address wildcard mask. 
Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which bits are 
ignored. A wildcard mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that all the 
bits are important. A wildcard mask of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no 
bits are important. For example, if the source IP address is 
149.36.184.198 and the wildcard mask is 255.255.255.0, the first 
three bytes of the IP address are matched, while the last eight bits 
are ignored. For the source IP address 149.36.184.198, this 
wildcard mask matches all IP addresses in the range 149.36.184.0 
to 149.36.184.255. A wildcard mask must not contain leading 
zeroes. For example, a wildcard mask of 010.010.011.010 is 
invalid, but a wildcard mask of 10.10.11.10 is valid.
■ Destination IP Address — If selected, enables matching the 
destination port IP address to which packets are addressed to the rule, 
according to a wildcard mask. The field value is either user defined or 
Any. If Any is selected, accepts any destination IP address and disables 
wildcard mask filtering.
■ Wild Card Mask — Indicates the destination IP Address wildcard 
mask. Wildcards are used to mask all or part of a destination IP 
Address. Wildcard masks specify which bits are used and which 
bits are ignored. For more details, refer to the description for 
wildcard masks under Source IP Address.
■ Match DSCP — Matches the packet DSCP value to the ACL. Either 
the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to match packets to 
ACLs. The possible field range is 0-7.
■ Match IP Precedence — Matches the packet IP Precedence value to 
the rule. Either the DSCP value or the IP Precedence value is used to 
match packets to ACLs. The possible field range is 0-63.
■ Action — Defines the ACL forwarding action. The options are as 
follows:
■ Permit — Forwards packets which meet the ACL criteria.
■ Deny — Drops packets which meet the ACL criteria.
