| 1306.1 | It supports source address filtering | NACAD2::BATTERSBY | | Fri Aug 12 1994 11:15 | 4 |
| The DECbridge 900MX supports protocol filtering, destination
address filtering, and source address filtering.

| 1306.2 | destination, not source, filtering. | SLINK::HOOD | I'd rather be at the Kennebec | Fri Aug 12 1994 12:45 | 1 |
| No. It supports destination filtering. Not source filtering.

| It's my understanding that the management address filtering model
for the bridge provides for a "Allowed Ports" bit mask. When any
db900mx port is placed in "manual mode" learning is not performed
on that port. The source field of any packet received on such a
configured port must be management-specified to be allowed on this
port for it to be forwarded. Also packets from any other port can be
sent to a port configured in "manual mode" only if the destination
address is managenment-specified for it to be forwarded.
Additionally, if all ports are placed in manual mode, then both
source and destination addresses of any packet received must be
management-specified for it to be forwarded.
So maybe we are not agreeing to the terminology of "source address
filtering"

| SA filtering is supported, see 895.1. However, you can't use
the SA to control the destination of a packet (as your scenario
seems to want). Simply put, the bridge uses source filtering to
control the source port for the source address and destination
filtering to control the destination port for the destination address.
