Applying an Optional Access Filter

An access filter is an input filter that restricts which hosts users can log in to. Access
filters work as follows:

The user logs in and specifies a host.

The host address is compared against the access filter.

If the address is permitted by the filter, the connection is established.

If the address is not permitted, the connection is denied.

To apply an access filter to a login user, use the following command:

Command> set user Username ifilter [Filtername]

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.”

host specified for this PortMaster. You can specify the default host
with the set host command shown on page 17-5.

prompt

This option allows the user to log in to a host by IP address or
name at the time the login session is established.

This option allows the user to connect only to the host specifically
named. A valid hostname or IP address must be entered.

This configuration is used when you want to allow a user to
access a specific host. For example, this configuration can be used
to allow the user carmela to always be connected with the host
sales.
