Filter

For more information, refer to “Node (high)” earlier in this chapter. To learn how to
assign an Node list to a filter, refer to “Dest Node (low)” and ”Source Node (low).”
Number of Routers
Identifies the number of adjacent DECnet routers associated with this circuit group.
Refer to your network map to determine this number.
Default: 6
Range: 1 to 33
Packet Type (high)
Sets the upper boundary of the range for filtering DECnet Packet Types when
creating a Packet Type filter or Packet Type list.
Options
Leave this field blank and enter the packet type number in the Packet Type (low)
field if you are filtering a single DECnet packet type number,
Enter the highest packet type number in the range if you are filtering a range of
DECnet packet type numbers.
Leave this field blank and enter the name of a Packet Type list in the Packet Type
(low) filed if you want to establish a range of packet types using a filter list.
For more information, refer to “Packet Type (low)” later in this chapter.
Packet Type (low)
Sets the lower boundary of the range for filtering DECnet packet type numbers
when creating a Packet Type filter or Packet Type list.
Options
Enter the packet type number in this field and leave the Packet Type (high) field
blank if you are filtering a single DECnet packet type number.
Enter the lowest packet type number in this field and enter the highest packet
type number in the Packet Type (high) field if you are filtering a range of DECnet
packet type numbers.
Enter the name of a Packet Type list in this field and leave the Packet Type (high)
field blank if you want to establish the range of Packet Types using a filter list.
For more information, refer to “Packet Type (high)” earlier in this chapter.
Precedence
Assigns a priority value to the filter—the higher the precedence, the greater the
priority. You can construct up to 31 filters per DECnet circuit group. The
Precedence value is used when an incoming packet meets multiple filter rules. In
such an instance, the filter with the highest priority is applied to the frame.
Default: 31
Range: 1 to 31
