Creates/deletes an IPX RIP filter. IPX RIP filters allow you to minimize the number of entries put in the 
IPX RIP Routing Table. RIP filters work only on switches running the RIP protocol. They do not work for 
routers running the NLSP protocol.

ipx filter [vlan] rip {in | out} {allow | block} [network_number [mask network_mask]]

no ipx filter [vlan] rip {in | out} {allow | block} [network_number [mask network_mask]]

To apply the filter to a specific VLAN or delete a filter from a specific 
VLAN, enter the VLAN number.

Filters incoming RIP updates.

Filters outgoing RIP updates.

Allows the traffic specified in the filter.

Blocks the traffic specified in the filter.

To apply the filter to a specific network or delete a filter from a specific 
network, enter the IPX network number.

If you are configuring a specific network as described above, enter the 
network mask.

• Use the no form of this command to delete a RIP filter.

• To apply a global filter, use only the basic command syntax (e.g., ipx filter rip in allow). Do not enter 

the optional vlan, network, or network_mask parameters.

• If you do not enter a network number, the filter will be applied to all networks.

• Use RIP filters with care because they can partition a physical network into two or more segments.
