Bridge Filtering

Typical Filtering

For the typical case, where you filter client broadcast traffic by default and pass

 

server traffic as discussed in the ““Typical Filtering” section on page 81.”

 

• Define only the NetBIOS Name field.

 

• Define one record for each wildcard pattern that encompasses all NetBIOS

 

service names.

Parameters

 

 

These parameters make up the NetBIOS Name Filter Table record:

 

String Type

 

 

 

 

 

Range:

ASCII, Hex

 

 

 

 

Default:

ASCII

 

 

 

 

Description:

This parameter determines how you enter the 16-character

 

 

NetBIOS name for this record. ASCII means that you enter ASCII

 

 

characters for the name. The name is left-justified, blank filled to

 

 

the 15th byte, and the 16th byte is ignored. Hex means that you

 

 

enter hexadecimal values for up to all 16 bytes. The string is

 

 

left-justified and the remaining bytes are ignored.

 

 

 

NetBIOS Name

Range:

0 to 16 ASCII characters (if parameter String Type=ASCII). Blank

 

set to null.

 

2 to 32 hexadecimal digits (if parameter String Type=hex)

 

 

Default:

<blank>

 

 

Description:

This name string is matched against NetBIOS packets. ASCII-type

 

strings are case-sensitive. They may contain the wildcard

 

character “?” that matches any character, or “*” as the last

 

character that matches all remaining characters. Hex type strings

 

may contain the sequence “**” for a byte position to indicate a

 

wildcard match of any byte value.
