Traffic Filter Components
The Configuration Manager creates traffic filters from template files that contain
filtering information. Traffic filter templates consist of three components:
• Criteria
The portion of the incoming packet, frame, or datagram header to be
examined
•Ranges
Numeric values (often addresses) to be compared with the contents of
examined packets
• Actions
What happens to packets that match the criteria and ranges specified in a filter
To create a traffic filter, you apply a filter template to a particular router interface.
Table 1-5
(at the end of this chapter) summarizes the inbound and outbound traffic
filter criteria and actions supported on specific interfaces.
Criteria
A f
ilter criterion is the portion of a packet, frame, or datagram header to be
examined. You can break down any packet into at least three components:
• The DLC (or data link) header. Examples of data link header types include:
-- Token ring (802.5)
-- Ethernet V.2 and IEEE 802.3
-- FDDI
-- PPP and Nortel Networks Standard
-- Frame Relay
• The upper-level protocol header. Examples of protocol header types include:
-- IP and TCP
-- Source route bridging (SRB)
-- DLSw
•User data
