Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization
1-2
Inbound Traffic Filters
Inbound traffic filters act on packets coming
in a router circuit (interface). When
you configure inbound filters, you specify a set of conditions that apply to a
particular protocol’s traffic.
Most sites use inbound traffic filters primarily for security, to restrict access to
particular source locations on a network or to certain types of data.
Supported Protocols and Circuits
The Configuration Manager supports inbound traffic filters for the following
protocols running on any serial, Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring interface:
• Bridge (four encapsulation methods: Ethernet, 802.2 LLC, 802.2 LLC with
SNAP, and Novell Proprietary)
• Native Source Routing
•IP
• IPX
• XNS
• OSI
• DECnet Phase IV
• VINES
• DLSw
• LLC2 (APPN and LNM)
Chapter 3 provides protocol-specific information for designing inbound traffic
filters. Chapter 6 explains how to use the Configuration Manager to apply inbound
filters.
