Figure 4-34:IP Filtering Configuration Form

You can use the IP Filtering form to filter traffic to and from the KVM/net and
block traffic according to rules you define.

entry in the list represents a chain with a set of rules.

The form by default has three built-in chains, as shown in the previous figure.
The chains accept all INPUT, FORWARD, and OUTPUT packets. You can
use the form to do the following to specify packet filtering:

Add a new chain and specify rules for that chain
