Creating an AppleTalk Name-Binding Protocol (NBP) Filter
The NBP performs a conversion from named AppleTalk entities to
their AppleTalk protocol addresses. Multiple names can exist for the
same entity (alias). NBP also performs:
■ Name registration
■ Name deletion
■ Name lookup
■ Name confirmation
NBP allows you to bind a name to the internal storage address for
your entity and register this mapping so that other entities can look
it up. You can display NBP names to users and use addresses
internally to locate entities. When you register your entity’s name
and address pair, NBP validates its uniqueness.
An NBP Filter prevents hosts on one or more interfaces from
accessing hosts or services beyond that interface.
You can create an NBP Filter using either the Web Agent or the CLI.
Using the Web
Agent
To create an NBP Filter using the Web Agent:
1. Select NBP Filter from the Routing > AppleTalk >
Configuration group on the Web Agent window. The
AppleTalk NBP Filter dialog box opens (Figure 6-130).
