Working with IP Filters and Filter Sets
To work with filters and filter sets, begin by accessing the filter set pages.
☛ NOTE:
Make sure you understand how filters work before attempting to use them.
Read the section “Packet Filter” on page 154.
The procedure for creating and maintaining filter sets is as follows:
1. Add a new filter set.
See Adding a filter set, below.
2. Create the filters for the new filter set.
See “Adding filters to a filter set” on page 165.
3. Associate the filter set with either the LAN or WAN interface.
See “Associating a Filter Set with an Interface” on page 171.
The sections below explain how to execute these steps.
Adding a filter set
You can create up to eight different custom filter sets. Each filter set can contain up to 16
output filters and up to 16 input filters. There can be a maximum of 32 filter rules in the
system.
To add a new filter set, click the
Add
button in the Filter Sets page. The Add Filter Set page
