Other filter attributes
There are three other attributes to each filter:
■The filter’s order (i.e., priority) in the filter set
■Whether the filter is currently active
■Whether the filter is set to forward packets or to block (discard) packets
Putting the parts together
When you display a filter set, its filters are displayed as rows in a table:
Source IP   | Dest IP   | ||||||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | +  | ||
1  | 192.211.211.17  | 0.0.0.0  | TCP  | 0  | 23  | Yes No  | |
2  | 0.0.0.0  | 0.0.0.0  | TCP  | NC  | =6000  | Yes No  | |
3  | 0.0.0.0  | 0.0.0.0  | ICMP  | Yes Yes  | |||

The table’s columns correspond to each filter’s attributes:
#: The filter’s priority in the set. Filter number 1, with the highest priority, is first in the table.
Source IP Addr: The packet source IP address to match.
Dest IP Addr: The packet destination IP address to match.
Proto: The protocol to match. This can be entered as a number (see the table below) or as TCP or UDP if those protocols are used.
