Available Access Filters
When you configure network filters, determine which protocols can or cannot access the NSS. To
display the list of available filters, click the drop-down arrow next to the Filter field on the Network
Filters page.
NOTE: Rejecting versus Dropping Traffic: When incoming traffic matches a "reject" filter,
the NSS drops the traffic and then sends a notice to the initiating system of the denial
of service. When incoming traffic matches a "drop" filter, the NSS drops the traffic
but no notice is sent to the initiating system.
• Allow All: This is the default filter. It tells the NSS to accept traffic via all supported protocols.
• Allow CIFS: Allow CIFS filesharing access.
• Allow FTP: Allow FTP and FTPS access.
• Allow HTTP: Allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser.
• Allow NFS: Allow NFS access.
• Reject CIFS: Do not allow CIFS filesharing access. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
• Reject FTP: Do not allow FTP or FTPS traffic. The NSS informs the system initiating the
connection about the denial of service.
• Reject HTTP: Do not allow access to the NSS configuration interface via a Web browser. The
NSS informs the system initiating the connection about the denial of service.
