Input SAP filters and output SAP filters
Each filter contains up to eight input filters and output filters, which you define individually
and apply in order (1–8) to the packet stream. Apply the input filters to all SAP packets the
MAX unit receives. They screen advertised services and exclude them from or include them in
the MAX unit’s SAP table as specified by the filter conditions.
Apply output filters to SAP response packets the MAX unit transmits. If the unit receives a
SAP request packet, it applies output filters before transmitting the SAP response, and
excludes services from or includes services in the response packet as specified by the output
filter.
For detailed information about each parameter, see the MAX Reference.
Parameter Specifies
Valid Enable/disable an individual input or output filter.
Type Whether an individual input or output filter includes the service
specified by the Server Type parameter or excludes it.
In an input filter, the Type parameter specifies whether to include
remote services of the specified type in the MAX unit’s SAP table or
exclude them.
In an output filter, the Type parameter specifies whether to include
advertisements for the specified service type in SAP response packets
or to exclude them.
Server Type A hexadecimal number representing a type of NetWare service to be
included or excluded as specified by the Type parameter. For example,
the number for file services is 0004.
Server Name Local or remote NetWare server’s name. If the server is on the local
network, you might name it in an output filter, in which the Type
parameter specifies whether or not to include advertisements for this
server in SAP response packets. If the server is on the remote IPX
network, you might name it in an input filter, in which the Type
parameter specifies whether or not to include this server in the MAX
unit’s SAP table.
