The filtering rules are set up in the same manner as filtering rules defined for a WM-AD — specify an
IP address and then either allow or deny traffic to that address. For more information, see “Configuring
filtering rules for a WM-AD” on page 123.
The rules defined for port exception filters are prepended to the normal set of restrictive exception
filters and have precedence over the system's normal protection enforcement.
WARNING!
If defined improperly, user exception rules may seriously compromise the systems normal security enforcement rules.
They may also disrupt the system's normal operation and even prevent system functionality altogether. It is advised
to only augment the exception-filtering mechanism if absolutely necessary.
To define port exception filters:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration. The Summit WM series switch
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Port Exception Filters. The Port Exception Filters screen is displayed.
3 Select the applicable data port from the Port drop-down list.
4 In the IP / subnet: port box, type the destination IP address. You can also specify an IP range, a port
designation or a port range on that IP address.
5 From the Protocol drop-down list, select the protocol you want to specify for the filter. This list may
include UDP, TCP, IPsec-ESP, IPsec-AH, ICMP. The default is N/A.
