11 - 6 Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge
Setting the Default (Source)
The default applies to those packets whose address does not have an
entry in the filter table.
Source address filtering is “Off” by default. This saves processing power
since the unit has to look up the source address of each incoming packet
to see if a filter is to be applied. Before any individual source filters can
be made active, one of the other values for the default must be chosen.
You may set the action to:
n Off (no filtering is done)
n Forward
n Discard
Displaying The Node Address Filters (Display)
Use the display option to view the table of controlled addresses. The
filters are stored in the association table so that they may be accessed
quickly. The display of the filters follows the format of the normal
association display. At the end of each line the filter action for each
address will be displayed.
This same display may also be produced using the “association display”
command with either the “all” or “multicast-filters” information. See
Chapter 10 “Setting Up the Association Table”.
