Using Filters 11 - 7
Displaying the IP to Network Address Table (IPdisplay)
When a node address filter is entered by IP address, the Ethernet or
Token Ring Bridge first determines the infrastructure address associated
with this IP address. The actual filtering is done based on the infrastruc-
ture address.
Updating Specific Node Address Filters (Add/Remove)
Use the add option to add filters for specific addresses to the filter table.
You will be prompted for the infrastructure address or IP address of the
node to which the filter applies. You will then be asked for the filter
action to be applied to this address which may be:
n Filter
n Discard
To remove one or all specific node filters use the remove option. You
may enter either the keyword “all”, a single nodes infrastructure
address, or a single node’s IP address. Once removed, the filter action
for the removed addresses will revert to the default value.
Filtering Protocols (Protocols)
Protocol filtering bases the filtering decision on the type of protocol
used to encapsulate the data in the packet. This type of filtering can
have the most value in almost all situations and is the preferred method
of filtering. With this type of filtering you may set the Ethernet or Token
Ring Bridge to only forward those protocols, over the radio, that are
being used by the remote radio nodes. Selecting protocols is easier than
setting up filters based on addresses.
