IP Filtering

Selecting Configuration>Network>IP Filtering in Expert mode brings up the
IP Filtering form as shown in the following figure.

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.

The KVM/net uses chains and rules for filtering packets like a firewall. Each
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

•

Add new rules

•

Delete existing chains and rules.

Add Rule and Edit Rule Options

The Add Rule and Edit Rule dialog boxes have the fields and options shown
in the following figure.
