Prestige 642R Series ADSL Router
8.1.1The Filter Structure of the Prestige
A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all the rules for NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The Prestige allows you to configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the system. You cannot mix device filter rules and protocol filter rules within the same set. You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block multiple types of packets. With each filter set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a single port.
Three sets of factory default filter rules have been configured in Menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic from triggering calls and to prevent incoming telnetting. A summary of their filter rules is shown in the figures that follow.
The following diagram illustrates the logic flow when executing a filter rule:
