AN-100U/UX Base Station

Manual

Packets are tested beginning with the classifier definition having the highest priority

value. The packet is processed based on the first discovered match. If classifiers have

equal priority, the order of evaluation can not be predicted.

DestMacAddr: Check to enable classification based on a destination MAC address

(downstream traffic from the base station). Enter the MAC address in the adjacent field.

When matched, downlink traffic is sent from the base station using the associated

service flow.

DestMacMask: Enter the mask value (hex) to be used with the destination MAC address

(DestMacAddr). Valid only if the DestMacAddr is enabled ( ). For examples:

1. A mask value of all ones (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) will match only the MAC address entered in the

DestMacAddr field.

2. A partially specified mask value will match a range of MAC addresses. For example, a

mask value of 01:02:03:ff:ff:ff will match all MAC addresses where the first 48 bits are

01:02:03. The DestMacAddr should be set to all zeros.

3. A mask of all zeros (00:00:00:00:00:00) will match all destination MAC addresses

(DestMacAddr field is ignored). All downlink traffic in the sector that does not match any

higher priority classifier is directed to the downlink service flow with this classifier. Only

one classifier in a sector can have a DestMacMask value set to all zeros. This is not

equivalent to a generic classifier used for MAC Learning.

Important: The feature to set a DL service flow classifier MAC address mask to all zeros

(00:00:00:00:00:00) is provided only to enable pass-all operation for PTP backhaul. Use in a

PMP scenario may cause all downlink traffic to be forwarded only to a single subscriber or

subset of subscribers. Refer to section 7.6: RedMAX Backhaul Application on page 120 for

details.

SourceMacAddr: Check to enable classification based on a source MAC address

(upstream traffic to the base station). Enter the MAC address in the adjacent field. When

matched, uplink traffic is sent from the subscriber using the associated service flow.

SourceMacMask: Enter the mask value (hex) to be used with the source MAC address

(SourceMacAddr).

1. A mask value of all ones (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) will match only the MAC address entered in the

SourceMacAddr field.

2. A partially specified mask value will match a range of MAC addresses. For example, a

mask value of 01:02:03:ff:ff:ff will match all MAC addresses where the first 48 bits are

01:02:03. The SourceMacAddr should be set to all zeros.

3. A mask of all zeros (00:00:00:00:00:00) will match all source MAC addresses

(SourceMacAddr value is ignored). All downlink traffic in the sector that does not match

any higher priority classifier is directed to the downlink service flow with this classifier.

Only one classifier in a sector can have a SourceMacMask value set to all zeros. This is

not equivalent to a generic classifier used for MAC Learning.
