Description: This object specifies how to interpret the ebrNportPortNum and the ebrNportSAMatrixName objects.

portMask(1) : The static filtering for this address is specified by the filter matrix.

alwaysFilter(2) : Frames sourced from this address are filtered regardless of any other alwaysForward dispositions based on the frame's destination address or protocol type. The static filtering information is specified by the filter matrix.

alwaysForward(3) : Frames sourced from this address are sent to ports specified in the filter matrix regardless of any DA or protocol filter with a disposition of filter. The alwaysForward disposition also overrides a forwarding disposition of filter in the default filter matrix object.

Filters with a disposition of alwaysFilter are never superceded.

lockdown (4) : Frames sourced from this address are ONLY forwarded if received on the same port as ebrNportPortNum.

lockdownportmask (5) : Frames sourced from this address are ONLY forwarded if received on the same port as ebrNportPortNum AND if the frame is destined to a permitted port as specified by the filter matrix.

filter(6) : The static filtering for this address is specified by the filter matrix. portMask(1) is the different name with the same effect.

Setting this object will side effect the ebrNportStaticSAFilterCharacteristicsTable entry for this address. It is here to group information for window-based forms. Setting this object will also cause a side effect on other entries in this table with the same address.
