Always enabled:
— Ethertype
Filters are configured in general router configuration mode, then applied to the Ethernet or frame relay network interface. Filters are applied to traffic in either the transmit or receive direction on that interface.
There is one filter access list per interface, per direction, with a maximum of
33 rules per list. For IP filters, all rules with a source host IP address are applied first; all rules with a destination host IP address are applied next. The remaining filters are applied in the order in which they were configured.
Bridge filtering does not apply when the router is in router-only mode. When bridging is enabled, separate ethertype filters are applied to the Ethernet and frame relay interfaces. They are applied to traffic in either the transmit or receive direction on that interface, with one filter access list per interface, per direction. There is a maximum of 16 rules per list. Each rule in the access list allows the user to filter a single ethertype or range of ethertypes.
MAC frames can be filtered based on the:
SNAP Ethernet field in the 802.2 and 802.3 header. ￿Protocol type field in the DIX Ethernet header.
For ethertype filters, the rules are applied in the order in which they were configured.
￿
￿Router filtering does not apply when the router is in bridge-only mode. By default, filtering is disabled on the router. Filtering provides security advantages on LANs by restricting traffic on the network. A filter consists of a set of rules applied to a specific interface to indicate whether a packet received or sent on that interface is forwarded or discarded.
The router offers security via the following:
Filtering can be enabled or disabled for inbound and/or outbound traffic:
— IP Protocol Type: TCP, UDP, or ICMP
— Smurf Attack Prevention
— Land Bug Prevention
— IP Source/Destination IP Address
— TCP/UDP Ports
— ICMP Message Type, Code
