Putting the parts together

When you display a filter set, its filters are displayed as rows in a table:

The table’s columns correspond to each filter’s attributes:

#: The filter’s priority in the set. Filter number 1, with the highest priority, is first in the table.

Fwd: Shows whether the filter forwards (Yes) a packet or discards (No) it when there’s a match.

Src-IP: The packet source IP address to match.

Src-Mask: The packet source subnet mask to match.

Dst-IP: The packet destination IP address to match.

Dst-Mask: The packet destination IP address to match.

Protocol: The protocol to match. This can be entered as a number (see the table below) or as TCP or
UDP if those protocols are used.

Src Port: The source port to match. This is the port on the sending host that originated the packet.

Dst Port: The destination port to match. This is the port on the receiving host for which the packet is
intended.

NC: Indicates No Compare, where specified.

Filtering example #1

Returning to our filtering rule example from above (see

page 165

), look at how a rule is translated into a fil-

ter. Star t with the rule, then fill in the filter’s attributes:

The rule you want to implement as a filter is:

“Block all Telnet attempts that originate from the remote host 199.211.211.17.”
