Packet Matching Criteria
IPv4 filter entries can specify one or more matching criteria, with one caveat. In order to 
support the maximum 256 entries for IPv4 filters, any entry that uses source port (src-
port) and/or destination port (dst-port) ranges (lt, gt, or range keywords) as match 
criteria must be within the first 64 entries. 
For IPv6 filters, the combined number of fields for all entries in a filter must not exceed 16 
fields (or 256 bits), where a field contains the bit representation of the matching criteria.
All conditions must be met in order for the packet to be considered a match and the specified 
action performed. The process stops when the first complete match is found and the action 
defined in the entry is executed (that is, packets that match the criteria are either dropped or 
forwarded). If no match is found, the default action is to drop the packet.
Matching criteria for IP filters, MAC filters, and VLAN filters are described in Table 41, 
Table 42, and Table 43, respectively.
