IP Filtering

Selecting Configuration>Network>IP Filtering in Expert mode brings up the IP Filtering form as shown in the following figure.

Figure 4-34:IP Filtering Configuration Form

You can use the IP Filtering form to filter traffic to and from the KVM/net and block traffic according to rules you define.

The KVM/net uses chains and rules for filtering packets like a firewall. Each entry in the list represents a chain with a set of rules.

The form by default has three built-in chains, as shown in the previous figure. The chains accept all INPUT, FORWARD, and OUTPUT packets. You can use the form to do the following to specify packet filtering:

•Add a new chain and specify rules for that chain

•Add new rules

•Delete existing chains and rules.
