3. Configure the following parameters:

b. In the Precedence field, enter 0.
c. In the Net field, enter ffffffff (which represents all networks).
d. In the Type field, enter 278 (which represents the type for NDS).
Direction Select the direction of the filter in question. Filter choices include:
• Inbound - Applies the filter only to SAP packets received on
the interface.
• Outbound - Applies the filter only to SAP packets sent on the
interface.
• Both - Applies the filter to SAP packets both sent and received
on the interface
Filter/Suppress Select to enable or disable whether the services matching Net and
Type are filtered (inbound) or suppressed (outbound).
• Filtered - Applies the filter only to SAP packets received
(inbound direction) on the interface.
• Suppressed - Applies the filter only to SAP packets sent
(outbound direction) on the interface.
Select Enable to filter/suppress traffic. Select Disable to disable the
filtering and suppression of traffic.
Hops Specify the number of routers (hops) that the packet must pass
through before reaching the service(s) matched by the filter. This
entry is used to override the value in the SAP packet.
Entering 0 ensures that there is no override in the transmission of
data on the network.
