relax the built-in filtering that automatically drops packets not specifically allowed
by filtering rule definitions. The exception filtering rules can deny access in the
event of a DoS attack, or can allow certain types of management traffic that would
otherwise be denied. Typically, Allow Management is enabled
To define filtering rules for an exception filter:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual
Network Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to define filter
ID values for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. Click the Filtering tab.
4. From the Filter ID drop-down list, click Exception.
5. For each filtering rule you are defining, do the following:
• 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.
• In the Protocol drop-down list, click the applicable protocol. The default
is N/A.
6. Define a rule to allow access to the default gateway for this VNS:
• Select IP/Port.
