CONFIGURING CONNECTION FILTERS

The IP Connection Filter is used at the point when an IP packet attempts to establish an outbound connection in order to continue the forwarding process. Its configuration parallels that of forwarding filters.

USING CFGEDIT

1.Select Connection Filter from the IP Filter menu.

2.Enable the Connection Filter. (By default, the Connection Filter is disabled.)

3.Select Edit the Connection Filter. A screen similar to the following will be displayed:

Conditions		for "Connect_Filter"
Final Condition
		DISCARD		All Other Types
(1)	Add,	(2) Change,	(3)	Delete,	(4)	Move a CONDITION,
(5)	Change	Default Condition		or press <RET>		for previous menu?

4.Select Add to add a condition.

5.Enter the name of the packet type to be forwarded. A screen similar to the following is then displayed:

Conditions for "Connect_Filter"
id
1			FORWARD		"Type_Two"
Final Condition
			DISCARD		All Other Types
(1)	Add,	(2)	Change,	(3)	Delete,	(4) Move a CONDITION,
(5)	Change Default Condition				or press <RET> for previous menu?

6.If the filter already has a forwarding condition (other than the final condition), an additional prompt is presented concerning the condition’s position within the filter. Enter the location within the filter where the condition is to be added:

•at the beginning

•at the end

•after the existing condition with id number “n”.

Note: If the Final Condition of the filter needs modification, do so via the Default Condition selection on the Conditions for Filter menu. In this screen context, default condition refers to final condition.
