Destination Address
Use the Destination Address to match packets by IP address, subnet, or IP version. The destination
address has the same format as the one for the source.
Comparison Operators
To match traffic in an IP qualifier more closely to your needs, you can use affirmative comparison or
negation. You can define that all packets fall in the scope of a rule except packets with certain attributes.
