Configuring WAN Port Settings

PortMaster Configuration Guide

To configure RIP routing, use the following command:

Command> set W1 rip on|broadcast|listen|off

Note – ComOS releases prior to 3.5 used the keyword routing instead of the rip
keyword.

Table 6-3 describes the results of using each keyword.

Refer to the PortMaster Routing Guide for OSPF and BGP configuration instructions.

Setting Input and Output Filters

Input and output packet filters can be attached to a synchronous port for network
hardwired ports. Filters allow you to monitor and restrict network traffic. If an input
filter is attached, all packets received from the interface are evaluated against the rule
set for the attached filter. Only packets permitted by the filter are passed through the
PortMaster. If an output filter is attached, packets going to the interface are evaluated
against the rule set in the filter and only packets permitted by the filter are sent out of
the interface.

Note – You must define a filter in the filter table before you can apply it. For more
information about filters, see Chapter 9, “Configuring Filters.”
