3075.0. "Filtering Precedence in DECswitch 900EF?" by SNOFS1::KHOOJEANNIE (Humpty Dumpty was pushed) Mon Dec 18 1995 01:37

    
    I need some advice re DECswitch 900EF filtering:
    
    Our customer has set up an address filter to block broadcast traffic
    (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF).
    
    However we do want IP broadcast traffic (e.g. ARP) to get through, so
    we have also set up a protocol filter to forward 0800 and 0806 traffic.
    
    The question is which filter takes precedence (and will 0806 traffic to
    FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF get through)?
    
    Is there a general rule for this?
    
    Thank you             
    Jeannie

	It will filter the broadcast. The general rule is that it must pass all filters you setup.
