• Dst Socket Cmp and Dst Socket #
If you specify the destination socket number, you can also specify the type of
comparison to be made between the destination socket for an IPX packet and
the value specified in this filter. You can specify that the filter matches the
packet if the destination socket number is equal, not-equal, less-than, or
greater-than the one specified in the filter.
Applying an IPX SAP filter
You can apply an IPX SAP filter to the local Ethernet or to WAN interfaces, or
both.
• On Ethernet, a SAP filter includes or excludes specific servers or services
from the table.
Open Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options.
If directory services is not supported, servers or services that are not in the
Pipeline table will be inaccessible to clients across the WAN.
• In the Answer profile, a SAP filter screens service advertisements from
across the WAN.
Open Ethernet > Answer > Session Options.
• In a Connection profile, a SAP filter screens service advertisements to and
from a specific WAN connection.
