• Actions specify activity of a filter when its criteria match a
packet. Enter one or more of the following actions:
•
discard discards the packet. If you use syslog, icmp, or
netact with discard, the system discards the packet after
it takes those actions.
•
icmp discards the packet and sends an ICMP message
indicating that the destination is unreachable.
•
netact defines activity for a SLIP or PPP dynamic dial-out
line. When you use
netact in a filter that is enabled on SLIP
or PPP dynamic dial-out line, packets that match the filter
constitute activity on the line. If the line is not up,
netact
discards the packet.
•
no_start, used with include (in the Scope category),
specifies that packets defined as activity will not activate a
dynamic dial-out line, but will keep the line up and will reset
the net_inactivity timer parameter to
0.
•
syslog logs the event in the log files.
route
The route attribute defines the IP routes that a router makes available
through a Remote Annex when it dials in. Use this attribute when you do
not want a router to incur overhead in running a routing protocol itself.
To use this attribute, you must:
1. From the Bay Networks program group window, double-click
on the appropriate icon to open the acp_userinfo file.
The acp_userinfo file opens in the Notepad editor.
2. Find the area of the file where entry information resides and
type
route.
3. Enter an IP address for the destination of the route.
4. Enter a subnet mask for the address of the destination.
