Identification Rules Definition
ML700 supports up to 32 identification rules. Available by factory setup (see Appendix E -
Factory Setup Content (on page E-1)), default rules on ML700 enable forwarding tunnels
for:
Ethernet packets belong to Layer 2 Control Protocols
Management LAN (MGMT VID=100) traffic
Other Traffic classified by Layer 2 COS bits
The first six rules (identify reserved L2CP tunnel MAC addresses) cannot be deleted or
modified.
All other rules can be modified or deleted. The last rule identifies unclassified traffic and
forwards it with a lowest priority through the system.
To change the default behavior of the system, i.e. drop or prioritize all unclassified traffic, the
Lower Order Rule (RULE-31 and less) should be used to define the behavior.
The order of the identification rules is critical due to "First Match" principle implemented for
Identification Rules on the ML700 series. A new rule can be added in any of the available
rows (the row number corresponds to the order of the rule). The order of configured rules
(except for the first six and last rule) can be modified.
NOTE: To change the order of pre-defined rules, use the up and down arrows at the right of the rules
table.
Rules can be imported (downloaded) to the ML700 from a text file consisting of TL1
configuration commands.
