Input Filter

This filter controls packets coming into the NETServer through the LAN interface. Use the following command:

set net0 ifilter <filter name>

Packet filters control access to computers, networks, and net- work services by using a set of rules to analyze the header information of each packet of data received. If the packet meets the filter’s criteria, it is allowed to pass through. Otherwise, the packet is discarded. See Chapter 8 for instructions on creating packet filters.

Output Filter

If the packet meets the filter’s criteria, it is allowed to pass through. Otherwise, the packet is discarded. See Chapter 8 for instructions on creating packet filters.
