Filtering
The IP Filtering Setup dialog provides tabs that let you configure the ProxyServer so that IP packets that are received by the server can be selectively filtered or forwarded based on their addresses or by the protocol ports to which they are destined.
The three filtering methods are:
•IP Protocol Port Based Filtering - In this method, IP packets can be filtered based on their specific purposes; e.g. Telnet packets (TCP based) or TFTP (UDP based) can be filtered or forwarded.
•IP Address Based Filtering - In this method, filtering is based on the source and destination IP addresses in the packet.
•ICMP Filtering - Separate filtering support is provided for specific kinds of received ICMP packets.
