Parameters Description
Packet Content Allows users to examine up to four specified offset packet content chunks
within a packet at one time and specifies the offset and mask. The four offsets
can be selected in the following format:
Offset 1 (2-126) _____mask______
Offset 2 (2-126) _____mask______
Offset 3 (2-126) _____mask______
Offset 4 (2-126) _____mask______
With this advanced unique Packet Content Mask (also known as Packet
Content Access Control List - ACL), the Switch 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 able to inspect any specified
content of a packet in different protocol layers.
