+- ``filtermode`` (default **0**)
+
+  Apart from the 4-tuple (IP src/dst addresses and TCP/UDP src/dst port
+  addresses), there are only 40-bits available to match other fields in
+  packet headers. So, ``filtermode`` devarg allows user to dynamically
+  select a 40-bit supported match field combination for LETCAM (wildcard)
+  filters.
+
+  Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
+  the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
+
+  The supported flags and their corresponding values are shown in table below.
+  These flags can be OR'd to create 1 of the multiple supported combinations
+  for LETCAM filters.

+
+  For example, to enable matching ``ethertype`` field in Ethernet
+  header, and ``protocol`` field in IPv4 header, the ``filtermode``
+  combination must be given as:
+
+  .. code-block:: console
+
+     testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88 -- -i
+
+- ``filtermask`` (default **0**)
+
+  ``filtermask`` devarg works similar to ``filtermode``, but is used
+  to configure a filter mode combination for HASH (exact-match) filters.
+
+  .. note::
+
+     The combination chosen for ``filtermask`` devarg **must be a subset** of
+     the combination chosen for ``filtermode`` devarg.
+
+  Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
+  the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
+
+  Note that the filter rule will only be inserted in HASH region, if the
+  rule contains **all** the fields specified in the ``filtermask`` combination.
+  Otherwise, the filter rule will get inserted in LETCAM region.
+
+  The same combination list explained in the tables in ``filtermode`` devarg
+  section earlier applies for ``filtermask`` devarg, as well.
+
+  For example, to enable matching only protocol field in IPv4 header, the
+  ``filtermask`` combination must be given as:
+
+  .. code-block:: console
+
+     testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88,filtermask=0x80 -- -i
