8.3Configuring a Filter Rule
To configure a filter rule, enter its number in Menu 21.1 - Filter Rules Summary and press Enter to open Menu 21.1.1 for the rule.
There are three types of filter rules: TCP/IP, IPX and Generic. Depending on the type of rule, the parameters below the type will be different. Use the space bar to select the type of rule that you wish to create in the Filter Type field and press Enter to open the respective menu.
To speed up filtering, all rules in a filter set must be of the same class, i.e., protocol filters or generic filters. The class of a filter set is determined by the first rule that you create. When applying the filter sets to a port, separate menu fields are provided for protocol and device filter sets. If you include a protocol filter set in a device filters field or vice versa, the Prestige will warn you and will not allow you to save.

There are two types of filter rules, Device Filter (Generic) rules and Protocol Filter (TCP/IP and IPX) rules. Device Filter rules act on the raw data from/to LAN and WAN.
