Chapter 25 Filter Configuration
25.1.1  The Filter Structure of the ZyXEL Device
A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all 
the rules for NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The ZyXEL Device 
allows you to configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter 
rules in the system. You cannot mix device filter rules and protocol filter rules within the same 
set. You can apply up to four filter sets to a particular port to block multiple types of packets. 
With each filter set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24 rules active for a 
single port.
Sets of factory default filter rules have been configured in menu 21 to prevent NetBIOS traffic 
from triggering calls and to prevent incoming telnet sessions. A summary of their filter rules is 
shown in the figures that follow.
The following figure illustrates the logic flow when executing a filter rule. See also 
 for the logic flow when executing an IP filter.
