By default, the filter’s socket and type numbers and network and node addresses are null (all zeros). This sets the filter to match on any IPX SAP packet entry. Configure the filter using criteria that meet your needs.
Follow these steps to configure the new SAP filter:
1.Select Filter Name and enter a descriptive name for the filter.
2.To specify a server name for the filter to match on, select Server Name and enter the name of an IPX server. You can use the wildcard characters * (asterisk) and ? (question mark). Use * to match any string, including a null string (no characters), and ? to match any single character in the server’s name. For example, the filter could match on the server name “NETOPIA” with “NETO*”, “NETO?IA”, and “NETOPIA*”.
3.To specify a socket for the filter to match on, select Socket and enter an IPX socket number.
4.To specify a type number for the filter to match on, select Type and enter an IPX type number.
5.To specify an IPX network address for the filter to match on, select IPX Network and enter an IPX network address.
6.To specify an IPX node address for the filter to match on, select IPX Node Address and enter an IPX node address.
7.Select ADD FILTER NOW to save the current filter. Select CANCEL to exit the Add SAP Filter screen without saving the new filter.
Deleting a SAP filter
