The following parameters can be set for Packet Content:
Parameter Description
Chunk
Allows users to examine up to four specified offset_chunks within a packet at one time and
specifies the frame content offset and mask. There are four chunk offsets and masks that can be
configured. A chunk mask presents four bytes. Four offset_chunks can be selected from a
possible 32 predefined offset_chunks as described below:
offset_chunk_1,
offset_chunk_2,
offset_chunk_3,
offset_chunk_4.

Example:
offset_chunk_1 0 0xffffffff will match packet byte offset 126,127,0,1
offset_chunk_1 0 0xffff will match packet byte offset,0,1
Note: Only one packet_content_mask profile can be created.
With this advanced unique Packet Content Mask (also known as Packet Content Access Control
List - ACL), the D-Link switch family can effectively mitigate some network attacks like the
common ARP Spoofing attack that is wide spread today. This is why the Packet Content ACL is
