Assigning a Filter on an Interface
To configure an input or output filter on an interface, use the
following CLI command:
set interface
<interface_name>
input_filter
<filter_name>
output_filter
<filter_name>
For example:
set interface eth:1 input_filter filter.fil
Note: Filters will not take effect on an interface until the
interface is disabled and enabled.
Configuring a Filter for a User
To configure an input or output filter for a specific user, use the
following CLI command:
set user
<user_name>
input_filter
<filter_name>
output_filter
<filter_name>
For example:
set user frizzo input_filter filter.fil
Note: Filters will not take effect on a user until the user is
disabled and enabled.
Setting Filter Access
When filters are assigned to both the interface and the user, you
need to tell the NETServer which one to use using the filter
access parameter. If filter access is ON, the user filters override
interface filters. If filter access is OFF, then the interface filters
are used.
To set the filter access parameter to ON for a specific interface,
use the following command:
set interface
<interface_name>
filter_access ON
