7-10 Reference Guide Parts of a filter A filter consists of criteria based on packet attributes. A typical filter can match a packet on any one of the following attributes: ■ The source IP addr ess (where the packet was sent fr om) ■ The destination IP address (wher e the packet is going) ■ The type of higher-layer Inter net protocol the p[...]

Security 7-11 Port number comparisons A filter can also use a comparison option to evaluate a packet’s source or destination por t number . The comparison options are: No Compare: No comparison of the por t number specified in the filter with the packet’s por t number .

B-2 Reference Guide About IP addr essing Ever y networking protocol uses some for m of addressing in or der to ensure that packets ar e delivered cor r ectly . In IP , individual network devices that are initial sour ces and final destinations of packets are usually called hosts, instead of nodes, but the two ter ms are inter- changeable. Each hos[...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-3 Class A networks have a small number of possible network numbers, but a lar ge number of possible host numbers. Conversely , Class C networks have a small number of possible host numbers, but a lar ge number of possible network numbers. Thus, the InterNIC assigns Class A addresses to lar ge or ganizations that have v[...]

B-4 Reference Guide the subnet numbers. Since the InterNIC assigns the network number proper , it should not change, so the subnet numbers must be created out of bits that would other wise be par t of the host numbers. Subnet masks T o create subnets, the network manager must define a subnet mask, a 32-bit number that indicates which bits in an IP[...]

Understanding IP Addressing B-5 Note: If you receive an IP addr ess from an ISP , there must be a mask associated with that IP address.

B-6 Reference Guide As you can see, subnet masks that allocate one, seven, or eight bits to subnets are useless for a Class C network.
