+Neighbour rule syntax
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Neighbour rule syntax is shown as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    neigh <port> <dst_mac>
+
+
+where each options means:
+
+``<port>``
+
+ * The output port id
+
+ * Optional: No
+
+ * Syntax: *port X*
+
+``<dst_mac>``
+
+ * The destination ethernet address to use for that port
+
+ * Optional: No
+
+ * Syntax:
+
+   * XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
+
+Example Neighbour rules:
+
+.. code-block:: console
