Hi,

If you use "help filters", you can probably get the command format like:

ethertype_filter (port_id) (add|del) (mac_addr|mac_ignr) (mac_address) ethertype (ether_type) (drop|fwd) queue (queue_id)
   Add/Del an ethertype filter.

[Wu, Jingjing] above error raised may because the NIC you using does not support ethertype_filter with mac.

[Wu, Jingjing] I think command like "ethertype_filter 0 add mac_ignr 00:10:E0:3B:3B:50 ethertype 0x0806 fwd queue 1" may work.
