Bridge filtering allows a network administrator to control the flow of packets 

across the CSX400. Bridge filtering can be used to “deny” or “allow” packets based on a “matched 
pattern” using a specified position and hexadecimal content within the packet. This enables 
restricting or forwarding of messages based on address, protocol, or data content. Common uses 
include preventing access to remote networks, controlling unauthorized access to the local 
network, and limiting unnecessary traffic. 

The CSX400 supports the following Bridge Filters:

dot1dStatic Filters (IETF RFC1493)

Ethernet Special Filtering Database (from the ctbridge-mib)

System passwords allow you to control access to the CSX400 by establishing three passwords. 
Each password provides varying levels of access to the CSX400. The default password for each 
access level is pre-set to public. If you do not wish to establish a password, press ENTER, the 
default password is automatically selected.

The following definitions explain each of the three levels of access:

This access level allows reading of device parameters not including system 

passwords.

This access level allows editing of some device configuration parameters not 

including changing system passwords.

This access level allows full management privileges. You must access the CSX400 

at this level to run QuickSET.
