Description

Use packet filtering to make your Router more secure, or to decrease throughput. The filters allow IPX
traffic to be selectively restricted to and through the Router. You can also use filters to keep hosts outside
of your organization from initiating calls on your phone line and increasing your phone bills. There are
three IPX filter lists:

• General (filter command)

• RIP (ripfilter command)
