Filter Configuration 95
For incoming packets, the Prestige applies data filters only. Packets
are processed depending upon whether a match is made. The
Prestige allows you to customize the filter sets that you wish to use.
This following sections describe how to configure the Prestige’s
filter sets.
Prestige’s Filter Structure
You can configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set.
Therefore, the Prestige allows you to customize up to 72 filter rules
(12 x 6).
When implementing these filter sets, you can link up to four of the
filter sets together to screen the data packet. Therefore, with each
filter set having up to six rules, you can have a maximum of 24
rules active for a single filtering application.
