General Setup Menu
The General Setup Menu allows the application of filter sets for filtering your Ethernet traffic.
Filter sets are used to block certain packets in order to reduce bandwidth or to enhance security.
Refer to Chapter 8, “Filter Configuration,” for more information about configuring filters.
Filters that have been defined in Menu 21 may be applied here by entering their numbers in the
appropriate fields in this menu. Up to four filter sets may be cascaded by listing the filter set
numbers separated by commas.
Table 3- 5 lists and describes the filter sets in the Ethernet General Setup menu.
