The activation of a filter is a three-step process that need to be executed in this
order:
1. Define filter rules (see Configure Filter-Rule )
2. Define a named filter comprising one or more rules (see Configure Filter
Command)
3. Bind the filter to an interface (see Configure Filter-Binding )
Configure Filter Create
configure filter create filter_name {forward | discard} [ rule_name_1]... [ rule_name_16]
Minimum Access Level: Administrator
The configure filter create command creates a filter based on existing filter rules.
filter_name – Specifies the filter to be created. The name may contain up to 32 printable characters.
forward – Specifies that a packet is to be forwarded to the user when none of the conditions specified in
the rule or rules are matched.
discard – Specifies that a packet is to be discarded when none of the conditions specified in the rule or
rules are matched.
rule_name_1 through rule_name_16 – Specifies up to 16 different rule names. These must be already
defined using the configure filter-rule command (see Configure Filter-Rule Command).
Example:
PDYN# configure filter create no_at_or_ipx forward no_at no_ipx
Note: A maximum of 16 rules can be defined for a filter.
