29.2.1 Configuring a Filter Rule
To configure a filter rule, type its number in Menu 21.1.1 - Filter Rules Summary and press
[ENTER] to open menu 21.1.1.1 for the rule.
To speed up filtering, all rules in a filter set must be of the same class, i.e., protocol filters or
generic filters. The class of a filter set is determined by the first rule that you create. When
applying the filter sets to a port, separate menu fields are provided for protocol and device
filter sets. If you include a protocol filter set in a device filter field or vice versa, the ZyAIR
will warn you and will not allow you to save.
M More.
“Y” means there are more rules to check which form a rule chain with the present rule. An
action cannot be taken until the rule chain is complete.
“N” means there are no more rules to check. You can specify an action to be taken i.e.,
forward the packet, drop the packet or check the next rule. For the latter, the next rule is
independent of the rule just checked.

“F” means to forward the packet immediately and skip checking the remaining rules.
“D” means to drop the packet.
“N“ means to check the next rule.
n Action Not Matched
“F” means to forward the packet immediately and skip checking the remaining rules.
