v Note: In rules where expressions are used, the syntax checker requires a
space before and a space after the expression operator(s).
IPX Route Filter Rule Options
Filter rules can optionally include the following parameter. When used, the
options must be inserted after the required part of the rule, but before any
modifiers.
The direction is specified with in, out, or both. If no direction is specified,
both is assumed.
•
Filter rules specifying in are only applied to routing information coming
into the device.
•
Filter rules specifying out are only applied to routing information being
sent from the device.
•
Filter rules specifying both are applied to routing information in both
directions.
IPX Route Filter Rule Modifiers
The source address, destination address, source interface or destination inter-
face can be specified using the from and to modifiers. These keywords
modify the global nature of a RIP filter rule.
•
from <IPX address> or from <interface> This modifier tells the device
to apply the rule only to routes coming from a specified IPX address, or
interface (e.g. Ethernet 0, WAN 1, etc.).
The IPX address parameter is specified as a hexadecimal network
number and node number separated by a dash (e.g. A011-0:0:A5:0:0:1
indicates a node with the hexadecimal network number of A011 and a
node address of 0:0:A5:0:0:1).
•
to <IPX address> or to <interface> This modifier tells the device to
apply the rule only to routes being sent to a specified IP address (where
the address is in the same format as discussed above), or interface (e.g.
Ethernet 0, WAN 1, etc.).
Filter rules can also optionally be set to modify some RIP information as it is
handled by the device.
•
metricin <increment value> This modifier tells the device to increment
the metric on incoming routes which match the filter rule. The metric is
the number of routers on a route. By increasing or decreasing the metric,
a particular route can be made more or less attractive. The value to incre-
ment by can be from 1 to 15.
