Figure 8-1 Outgoing Packet Filtering Process
For incoming packets, the Prestige applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending upon whether a match is made. The Prestige allows you to customize the filter sets that you wish to use. This following sections describe how to configure the Prestige’s filter sets.
Prestige’s Filter Structure
You can configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set. Therefore, the Prestige allows you to customize up to 72 filter rules (12 x 6).
When implementing these filter sets, you can link up to four of the filter sets together to screen the data packet. Therefore, with each filter set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a single filtering application.
