# Class CIM_FilterEntry
extends CIM_FilterEntryBase

A FilterEntry is used by network devices to identify traffic and either forward it (with possibly further processing) to its destination, or to deny its forwarding. It is one of the building block of FilterLists. This class is oriented towards packet filtering. Other subclasses of FilterEntryBase can be defined to do other types of filtering. A FilterEntry is weak to the network device (i.e., the ComputerSystem) that contains it. Hence, the ComputerSystem keys are propagated to this class.

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
Action | uint16 |
Description | string | This defines whether the action should be to forward or deny traffic meeting the match condition specified in this filter.
ValueMap | string | 1, 2
Values | string | Permit, Deny
DefaultFilter | boolean |
Description | string | This defines whether this FilterEntry is the default entry to use by its FilterList.
MatchConditionType | uint16 |
Description | string | This specifies one of a set of ways to identify traffic. If the value is 1 (i.e., "Other"), then the specific type of filtering is specified in the OtherMatchConditionType property of this class.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FilterEntry.OtherMatchConditionType
ValueMap | string | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Values | string | Other, Source Address and Mask, Destination Address and Mask, Source Port, Source Port Range, Destination Port, Destination Port Range, Protocol Type, Protocol Type and Option, DSCP, ToS Value, 802.1P Priority Value, Any
MatchConditionValue | string |
Description | string | This is the value of the condition that filters the traffic. It corresponds to the condition specified in the MatchConditionType property. If, however, the value of the MatchConditionProperty is 1, then it corresponds to the condition specified in the OtherMatchConditionType property.
OtherMatchConditionType | string |
Description | string | If the value of the MatchConditionType property in this class is 1 (i.e., "Other"), then the specific type of filtering is specified in this property.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FilterEntry.MatchConditionType
OtherTrafficType | string |
Description | string | If the value of the TrafficType property in this class is 5 (i.e., "Other"), then the specific type of traffic is specified in this property.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FilterEntry.TrafficType
TrafficClass | string |

Description

string

This defines the traffic class that is being matched by this FilterEntry. Note that FilterEntries are aggregated into FilterLists by the EntriesInFilterList relationship. If the EntrySequence property of the aggregation is set to 0, this means that all the Filter Entries should be ANDed together. Consequently, the TrafficClass property of each of the aggregated Entries should be set to the same value.

TrafficType | uint16 |
Description | string | This defines the type of traffic that is being filtered. This will affect the filtering rules in the MatchCondition property of this class.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_FilterEntry.OtherTrafficType
ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Values | string | Unknown, IPv4, IPX, IPv6, Any, Other
