• Time Range Name—If Time Range is selected, select the time range to be 
used. Time ranges are defined in the Time Range section.
• Destination MAC Address—Select Any if all destination addresses are 
acceptable or User defined to enter a destination address or a range of 
destination addresses.
• Destination MAC Address Value—Enter the MAC address to which the 
destination MAC address is to be matched and its mask (if relevant). 
• Destination MAC Wildcard Mask—Enter the mask to define a range of MAC 
addresses. Note that this mask is different than in other uses, such as subnet 
mask. Here, setting a bit as 1 indicates don't care and 0 indicates to mask 
that value. 
NOTE Given a mask of 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111   (which 
means that you match on the bits where there is 0 and don't match on the bits 
where there are 1's). You need to translate the 1's to a decimal integer and 
you write 0 for each four zeros. In this example since 1111 1111 = 255, the 
mask would be written: as 0.0.0.255.

User defined to enter a source address or range of source addresses.
