This menu allows you to specify filter set(s) that you wish to apply to the Ethernet traffic.  You seldom
need to filter Ethernet traffic; however, the filter sets may be useful to block certain packets, reduce traffic
and prevent security breaches.

If you need to define filters, please read the chapter on configuring filters first, then return to this menu to
define the filter sets.

The factory configured filters in SMT menu 21.3 are designed to block incoming telnet from the WAN
(DSL) port. Do not configure SMT menu 3.1 filter rules to block all telnet from the Ethernet. This would
block the telnet connection from your computer to the Prestige.

Depending on the protocols for your applications, you need to configure the respective Ethernet Setup, as
outlined below.

"  For TCP/IP Ethernet setup refer to the Internet Access chapter.
"  For Novell IPX Ethernet setup refer to the IPX Configuration chapter.
"  For bridging Ethernet setup refer to the Bridging Setup Chapter.
