Specifying a filter’s forwarding action
For generic, IP, or IPX filters, each input or output filter in a local Filter profile specifies a
forwarding action for packets that match the filter. Following is the relevant parameter (shown
with its default settings):
Ethernet
Filters
Filter profile
Name
Input Filters...
In Filter (1-12)
Generic...
Forward=No
Output Filters...
Out Filter (1-12)
Generic...
Forward=No
Note: For Type of Service filters, the forwarding action has no effect. Those filters perform a
different type of action on matching packets.
In a RADIUS definition, you specify the action a filter takes as forward or drop. This
specification provides the same function as the Forward parameter in a local profile. The
following example shows an input filter whose forwarding action is to drop matching packets.
test-user Password="test-pw"
Ascend-Data Filter="ip in drop tcp dstport > 1023"
Parameter Specifies
Forward The forwarding action for the filter. When no filters are in use, the
MAX unit forwards all packets by default. When a filter is in use,
the default is to discard matching packets (Forward=No).
