Configure IP Filtering
IP Filtering lets you specify rules for handling data packets transitioning an 
interface. Based on a set of rules, packets can be passed or blocked when 
entering or leaving an interface. 
IP Filtering is one part of creating a Firewall to protect local networks from 
undesirable access.
NOTICE: 
Please refer to the Applications Notes on IP Filtering found in 
Appendix C for the general information and syntax needed to program 
the filter.
NOTICE: 
Because each packet must be tested against one or more filters, IP 
filtering may significantly affect IAD performance.
To use IP filtering, you must create a text file called filter.st. This file should 
be created and edited external to the IAD and then downloaded via TFTP or 
XMODEM. The syntax is defined under the Grammar section on page 
page C-255. To configure IP Filtering, Type “F” on the Router Configuration 
menu (Figure 4.51). The IAD displays the IP Filtering Configuration menu.
Figure 4.58
IP Filtering Configuration Menu 
If the filter.st file is present on the IAD, IP Filtering will be enabled. The IP 
Filtering Configuration Menu then lets you load and unload rule sets, print the 
current list of filters, and show and clear IP Filter Statistics.
Each option on the above menu is described in detail below.
read filter.st Type “1” to have the IAD load a new rule set from the filter.st file. Once 
you have uploaded the file, the IAD will begin filtering without your having 
to reboot the IAD. To upload a file to the file system, refer to File System 
Menu
 on page 3-40.
print filters Type “2” to display a list of currently installed input and output filters
