Configuring the Ethernet Interface 4-3
Setting IP Parameters
To apply an input filter to the Ethernet interface, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 ifilter Filtername
To remove the input filter, omit the filter name when entering the command.
Output Filters
When an output filter is used, all traffic going out of the PortMaster on the Ethernet
interface is compared to the output filter rules. Only packets permitted by the filter rules
are sent by the PortMaster.
Note – ICMP and UDP packets generated by the PortMaster are never blocked by the
output filter.
To apply an output filter to the Ethernet interface, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 ofilter Filtername
To remove the output filter, omit the filter name when entering the command.
Setting IP Parameters
PortMaster products support both the IP and IPX protocols. When you select a protocol
for the Ethernet interface, you must enter certain values appropriate for the selected
protocol.
This section describes the IP commands, keywords, and values that must be entered if
you select IP protocol support.
Setting the IP Address
During the PortMaster installation process, you set the IP address for the Ethernet
interface.
To change the IP address of the Ethernet interface, use the following command:
Command> set Ether0 address Ipaddress
Note – If you change the IP address of the Ethernet interface, you must reboot the
PortMaster for the change to take effect.
