Compound Data Type Fields

A Compound Data Type is based on multiple data types. The relationship between the data types may be:

• AND (all the data types must be present to match traffic),
• NOT (if none of the data types are present, the traffic matches),
• A combination of AND and NOT (if traffic has all data types in the first list, and none of the data types in the second list, it matches this data type).

Members

You must add at least one data type to at least one of the lists.

• Each one of these data types must be matched- Select existing data types to add. Traffic must match all the data types of this group to match a rule using this compound data type.
• Each one of these data types must not be matched - Select existing data types to add to the definition. Traffic that does not contain any data matching the types in this list will match this compound data type.

• If you remove the selected data type from the compound data type. This action does not affect the data type itself.
