This object specifies the value that will be compared against the value contained in the EtherType field of an IEEE 802 frame. Example settings would include 'IP' (0x0800), 'ARP' (0x0806) and 'IPX' (0x8137). Setting the qos802AceEtherType object to -1 indicates that EtherType data should not be considered during traffic classification. Note that the position of the EtherType field depends on the underlying frame format. For Ethernet-II encapsulation, the EtherType field follows the 802 MAC source address. For 802.2 LLC/SNAP encapsulation, the EtherType value follows the Organization Code field in the 802.2 SNAP header. The value that is tested with regard to this filter component therefore depends on the data link layer frame format being used. If this 802 ACE component is active when there is no EtherType field in a frame (e.g., 802.2 LLC), a match is implied.
