IPX filters
IPX packet filters work very similarly to IP packet filters. They filter
data traffic coming from or going to remote IPX networks. IPX filters
can be set up to pass or discard IPX packets based on a number of
user-defined criteria. Like IP filters, IPX filters must be grouped in
sets that are applied to the answer profile or to connection profiles.
IPX SAP filters are used for filtering server entries not required to
pass over the WAN links. When connecting to a large IPX network via
ISDN, the transfer of large numbers of SAP entries can consume
significant bandwidth on the WAN link.
Note: Using SAP filtering to prevent a server from being advertised
does not provide security against that server being accessed—IPX
packet filtering must be used for that purpose.
