 Ports
40G Ports – Port 49 to 54. Each of
these Ports can be split to 1G or
10G via QSFP break-out cables.
After splitting these interfaces are
named X/1 to X/4.

Ethernet SFP/SFP+ Ports for 1G/10G

Management I/F
for web GUI or ssh
connection;
Default IP is
192.168.0.200/24

In the Web GUI under „Ports“ – „Port Status“ each defined Port including it`s port
number can be viewed.
 Connection to EX484-3
 Connect to your CUBRO Packetmaster EX via the
Management Interface

 Enter the IP of the Packetmaster in your web

browser (Factory default: 192.168.0.200)

The Packetmaster will automatically start up with the Rule Table (empty on first bootup)
 Web GUI Start-up Screen
Rule Table
 After login the Web GUI shows the active
rules – Rule Table
 Entering Rules 1
 Press „Add Rule“ tab to enter new rules
User selectable name to identify the
rule easily

Priority of the
rule, higher
priority matches
first
 Priority
 The Cubro Packetmaster does not allow to
handle an incoming packet twice. So once a
rule matches the packet is processed and
there is no 2nd chance to access this packet.

 The priority field is a way to stack up rules.

The priority value can be anything between
0 and 65535. A higher value will match
before a lower one.
 Entering Rules 2
 Enter values for rules

Select ports to apply rules

Separator e.g. 1,3 Ranges e.g. 2-4

Multiple VLANs and ranges possible

Leave empty if no filter on an

attribute is desired

Choosing protocol type opens the

relevant options for the specific choice

IP masks are entered in CIDR notation (1-32)

 Entering Rules 3
Drops matching traffic

Selects output ports for matching packets

Separator e.g. 1,3 Ranges e.g. 2-4

Mirrors traffic from input to output of port

Adds VLAN

Changes VLAN to desired value

Removes VLAN

Adds MPLS label

Modifies IP Destination Address

Modifies MAC Source and Destination Address

Modifies Source and Destination Port Number

 Entering Rules 4
 Press Add Rule
 On top of the screen „Rule added successfully“
 Port Splitting
 The 40G ports can be splitted as listed below
Frontpanel Port Supported Numbering of SFP or Break-
Number Speed Port as required out
to identify the
Port
49 to 54 1G or 10G 49/1 to 49/4 QSFP break-out
50/1 to 50/4 cable
…
…
54/1 to 54/3
Flow configuration after 40G port split
 To make a flow from/to splitted ports
consider the following:
 Split of 40G port #x results in
 Port x/1 to Port x/4
 To use one of these splitted ports it is
required to set the input port or output port
number to the correct splitted port number.
 E.g. if a flow is required from input 49/3 to
output 50/1. The In_port should be set 49/3
while the output has to be set to 50/1.
 Current Port Table
 For the current port table refer to
 Rule Table 1
 Press „Rule Table“ to display all rules
 Rule Table 2
 Handling Rules

e.g. Rules are restored after rules. in Rule Table
reboot. Overwrites
previously stored rules in Stored rules are
