Via the following dialogue window it is possible to define the MAC addresses of the

respective sources and targets.
The Source MAC Address defines the source from which data is received.
The Target MAC Address defines the target to which data is sent.

In case you are using a permanent, static connection between two devices, you may enter

their respective MAC addresses here. Otherwise leave the asterisk symbol unchanged.

Note:
If the option “Used Hardware Groups“ is activated, a selection among the added hardware

groups is possible. Use this option if you want to allocate rules for more than one MAC

address.

Note:
If you want to use a permanent connection between two defined devices, you may

define the MAC addresses of the respective devices here.

ESCRIPTION

ARP

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network protocol that allows
resolving network addresses to hardware addresses. ARP is not an IP-only

or Ethernet-only protocol, but due to the prevalence of IPv4 and Ethernet,
it is used almost exclusively for resolving IP addresses to Ethernet MAC

addresses.

IPv4

IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4, formerly simply IP), is the fourth
iteration of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is the first version of the protocol

to be widely deployed and is one of the essential underlying internet
technologies.

Vlan

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a virtual local network inside a

physical network. The protocol commonly used in configuring virtual LANs
is IEEE 802.1Q.

Other

Allows selection of a different protocol.
