 Validating flow rules depends on the firmware variant.
 
-Ethernet destinaton individual/group match
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The :ref:`flow_isolated_mode` is supported.
+
+Ethernet destination individual/group match
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Ethernet item supports I/G matching, if only the corresponding bit is set
-in the mask of destination address. If destinaton address in the spec is
-multicast, it matches all multicast (and broadcast) packets, oherwise it
+in the mask of destination address. If destination address in the spec is
+multicast, it matches all multicast (and broadcast) packets, otherwise it
 matches unicast packets that are not filtered by other flow rules.
