Port Filter

This module contains the impairment port flow filter commands.

There are 2 register copies used to configure the filters:

Shadow-copy (type value = 0), temporary copy configured by sever. Values stored in shadow-copy have no immediate effect on the flow filters. PEF_APPLY will pass the values from the shadow-copy to the working-copy.
Working-copy (type value = 1), reflects what is currently used for filtering in the FPGA. Working-copy cannot be written directly. Only shadow-copy allows direct write.
All set actions are performed on shadow-copy ONLY.
Only when PEF_APPLY is called, working-copy and FPGA are updated with values from the shadow-copy.

Note

Flow filter is only applicable to flow ID from 1 to 7. You cannot place a filter on flow 0.

class PEF_MASK[source]

Bases: object

This command is valid only for Extended filter mode (check PEF_MODE).

Defines the mask byte values that select the values specified by PEF_VALUE.

For a chosen <protocol_segment_index> the first byte in the value masks the first byte of the corresponding PEF_VALUE and so on.

If <protocol_segment_index> = 0 the maximum number of match value bytes that can be set is determined by the total length of the protocol segments specified with PEF_PROTOCOL`.

E.g. if PEF_PROTOCOL is set to ETHERNET then only 12 bytes can be set. In order to set the full 128 bytes, either specify a detailed protocol segment list, or use the raw protocol segment type. This specifies 12 + 116 = 128 bytes.

If <protocol_segment_index> != 0 only the bytes covered by that segment are manipulated, so if PEF_PROTOCOL is set to ETHERNET VLAN ETHERTYPE eCPRI then <protocol_segment_index> = 4 selects the 8 bytes of the eCPRI header starting at byte position (12 + 2 + 4) = 18.
