Configure the desired access control for this example by building an exclusive filter
on the PPP/0 interface of router 4.3 as shown in Figure 17. To configure the
example given for router 4.3 in Figure 17, enter the following NCP commands and
parameters:

NCP> def mod access-cont circ ppp/0 type exclusive

NCP> def mod access-cont circ ppp/0 filter 0.0 0.0 4.4 63.1023

NCP> def mod access-cont circ ppp/0 state on

Managing Traffic Using Area Routing Filters

Area routing filters allow special configurations of your DNA network. Because this
is an advanced topic, very few DNA IV networks need routing filters. There are two
primary applications for area filtering in DNA IV:

v

Security, limiting access to some group of areas from other areas.

v

Allowing the blending of two DECnet address spaces.

Note: Area Routing Filters are very tricky and subtle to configure. It is very easy

to completely break your area routing. If you do not understand how
DECnet routing works, especially at the area level, do not try to use
routing filters. Documentation on the DECnet routing protocol can be
found in
