Determines the filtering action taken when the contents of a AppleTalk datagram
field meet the criteria established for a filter rule.
Default: Drop and Log
Accept
Relays a datagram meeting the filter rule.
Accept and
Log
Relays a datagram meeting the filter rule and records the action in the event log.
Drop
Discards a datagram meeting the filter rule and records the action in the event log.
Drop and Log
Discards a datagram meeting the filter rule.
Note: The Drop and Log and Accept and Log actions should be used judiciously. The
processing required to log such events in the RAM-based event log consumes CPU
cycles and can result in the loss of incoming DDPs. Consequently, the log actions
should generally be used only to record anomalous events.
Auto Enable
Enables or disables the AppleTalk router when the router boots. The AppleTalk-
specific Auto Enable parameter works in conjunction with the global Auto Enable
parameter found on the Global Parameters screen in the System configuration menu.
When the global Auto Enable parameter is set to No,the AppleTalk router is
unconditionally disabled. (Then to enable AppleTalk routing after the router
boots, you will have to use the NCL Interpreter’s Enable command.)
When the global Auto Enable parameter is set to Yes, the setting of the AppleTalk-
specific Auto Enable parameter determines whether the AppleTalk router is
enabled.
Default: Yes
No
Disables the AppleTalk router if the global Auto Enable parameter is enabled. (Then
to enable it after the router boots, you must use the NCL Interpreter’s Enable
command.)
Yes
Enables the AppleTalk router if the global Auto Enable parameter is also enabled.
