IPX Filters

and Filter Sets

IPX packet filters work very similarly to IP packet filters. They filter data traffic coming from or going to remote IPX networks. IPX filters can be set up to pass or discard IPX packets based on a number of user-defined criteria. Like IP filters, IPX filters must be grouped in sets that are applied to the answer profile or to connection profiles.

IPX SAP filters are used for filtering server entries not required to pass over the WAN links. When connecting to a large IPX network via dial-up connection, the transfer of large numbers of SAP entries can consume significant bandwidth on the WAN link.

Note: Using SAP filtering to prevent a server from being advertised does not provide security against that server being accessed—IPX packet filtering must be used for that purpose.

Setting up and using IPX filter sets is a four-step process:

1.Create the filters to use.

2.Create the filter sets to use.

3.Add filters to the filter sets.

4.Attach the filter sets to the answer profile or to connection profiles.

You can configure IPX filters and set up IPX filter sets from the IPX Filters and Filter Sets screen.
