Dest Node (low)
Sets the lower boundary of the range for filtering a DECnet packet based on the
contents of its destination node field.
Options
Leave this field blank if you do not want to filter DECnet destination nodes.
Enter the DECnet ID of the destination node in this field and leave the Dest Node
(high) field blank if you are filtering a single DECnet destination node.
Enter the DECnet ID of the lowest destination node in this field and enter the
DECnet ID of the highest destination node in the Dest Node (high) field if you are
filtering a range of DECnet destination nodes.
Enter the Node list name in this field and leave the Dest Node (high) field blank if
you want to use a Node list to establish the upper and lower range of DECnet
destination nodes.
For more information, refer to “Dest Node (high)” earlier in this chapter. For more
information about Node lists, refer to “Node (high)” and “Node (low)” later in this
chapter.
Effect
Determines whether a packet is dropped or relayed (filtered) based on the contents
of a packet field and a range established by a matching set of (low) and (high)
parameters. The packet field and corresponding (low) and (high) parameters are
listed in the following table:
Packet Field DECnet Parameter
Destination area Dest Area (low) and Dest Area (high)
Destination node Dest Node (low) and Dest Node (high)
Packet Type Packet Type (low) and Packet Type (high)
Source area Source Network (low) and (high)
Source node Source Node (low) and Source Node (high)
Default: Ignore
Don’t Match
Applies the filtering action (drop/accept) if the contents of the packet field do not
fall within the range established by the matching set of (low) and (high) filter
parameters.
Ignore
Applies no filtering action if the contents of the packet field falls within the range
established by the matching set of (low) and (high) parameters.
