Figure C.6 RIP neighbor filters
Actions
• An RIP neighbor filter applied to outbound traffic on a port permits or denies advertisement of routes.
• An RIP neighbor filter applied to inbound traffic on a port permits or denies learning of the routes advertised
by the neighbor. When the device learns an RIP route, the route is added to the RIP route table.
Scope
You configure RIP neighbor filters globally. They are automatically applied to all RIP ports as soon as you
configure them.
Syntax
Use the following CLI commands or Web management interface panels to configure RIP neighbor filters.
IPX Filters
IPX filters control transmission and receipt of IPX packets, IPX RIP routes, and IPX Service Advertisement
Protocol (SAP) messages. IPX forwarding filters filter on source and destination IPX address and socket
information. IPX RIP filters filter based on a route’s network address. IPX SAP filters filter based on server type
and server name.
IPX Forwarding Filters
IPX forwarding filters control forwarding of IPX packets.
Action
• An IPX forward filter applied to inbound packets forwards or drops IPX packets received on the port.
• An IPX forward filter applied to outbound traffic forward or drops IPX packets sent to the port for forwarding.
Scope
You configure IPX forwarding filters globally, then apply them to specific ports.
