Definition of Filter Tests
You need to define the filter test which will be applied to every packet that is
transmitted. Use any combination of the following parameters to define the filter
test:
Protocol
Operation (block, forward, etc.)
Interface (LAN, Link)
Destination and/or source IP address of the packet
Destination and/or source MAC address of the packet (layer 2)
IP socket (upper and lower level)
IP packet type (broadcast, multicast).
Up to 18 filters can be defined. To avoid reducing FCD-IPM performance, minimize
the number of active filters.
Defining Filters
Filters can be defined through the control port, TELNET or SNMP. First decide on
the mode and conditions for a filter, then follow the instructions below to set filter
parameters.
Remember that forwarding takes precedence over blocking. If there is a
combination of filters which contain both operations, the frame will be forwarded.
