IPX packet filtering

IPX packets can be filtered by source and destination host, network or socket. Additionally, SAP packets can be specifically permitted or denied. Note that IPX network numbers must be specified as 8-digit hex values. Node addresses must consist of the 8-digit network number, followed by a colon and then the 12-digit MAC address.

IPX Rules

The IPX rule format is as follows:

<permit deny> <keyword> <value>

<keyword> may be srcnet, dstnet, srchost, dsthost, srcsocket, or dstsocket.

srcnet

Compare the source IPX network number contained in the packet to the network number given. The network number must be in hexadecimal format.

<permit deny> srcnet <IPX network number>

dstnet

Compare the destination IPX network number contained in the packet to the address given. The network number must be in hexadecimal format.

<permit deny> dstnet <IPX network number>

srchost

Compare the source IPX node address contained in the packet to the address given. The IPX address should be in hexadecimal format.

<permit deny> srchost <IPX node address>
